A simple main.cpp with "netlink/netlink.h" included compiles without issues 
but I have problems compiling a program which 
includes "netlink/route/link.h". Is this related to the headers issue you 
mentioned?

Here is the error I get when compiling main.cpp with "netlink/route/link.h" 
included:

In file included from /usr/include/netlink/msg.h:17,
                 from /usr/include/netlink/cache.h:16,
                 from /usr/include/netlink/route/link.h:16,
                 from main.cpp:2:
/usr/include/netlink/attr.h:30: error: redefinition of ‘struct nlattr’
/usr/include/linux/netlink.h:127: error: previous definition of ‘struct 
nlattr’

Thanks,
Helmut
