[netperf-talk] Urgent: help required for instaling netperf 2.4.1 on fedora Core 8 (kernel version is 2.6.23.1-42.fc8)

[Rick Jones]

Sigh - newer kernels have once again tweaked the interfaces to the 
sched_setaffinity calls it seems and netperf has yet to catch-up.

That is likely an older kernel without those changes to the CPU affinity 
stuff.

If you don't plan on using the global -T option, you can I think simply 
recomment HAVE_SCHED_SETAFFINITY in config.h and recompile.

happy benchmarking,
