config.status file has set the correct path to system headers : s,@SYSINCLUDES@,-I /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include,;t t Inside the /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include/linux there is the header resolving at least the unresolved symbols IFA_ADDRESSetc., called if_addr.h. That is also where the struct ifaddrmsg is defined probably solving the `dereferencing pointer to incomplete type` error. But still, this path is used. Many thanks for your support
