Hello, I just started configuring my first installation of bird. However, I even do not get running the simples samples. My conf file protocol kernel { export all; } does fail. Bird complains "syntax error" (indicating the line number with "export all".) If I comment out that line, bird complains "Channel not specified" (indicating the line with the closing }.) I wonder, if protocol "kernel" is known by my bird installation. When "configure" had run, it showed a lot of protocols, but "kernel". Maybe "kernel" is included anyway. Any hints for me? Roger.

Hi You are perhaps running 2.0 prerelease version? You could start with 1.6.3 version, which is properly documented and should work with your sample. For details about 2.0 prerelease version, see: http://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2016-December/010777.html -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
Using version 1.6.3 did solve the problems. Thanks! Roger. Am 28.07.2017 um 11:40 schrieb Ondrej Zajicek:
