ORBIT-USER: libmac compile error?

[Kishore Ramachandran]

Hi Rodney:

What version of libmac are you using and what kernel version do you have? 
I checked libmac code in SVN trunk as well as release v1.1.0 and did not 
find the lines (in either libmac_ifinfo.c and libmac_ifparams.c) you 
mentioned. I did not find "__user" in either of the files. Are you using 
code modified by you or someone else?

I suggest starting with trying to compile and run libmac release v1.1.0.

regards,
Kishore
