Subject: little endian ... big endian ???

Hi All,
I'm new to YDL but have used other Linux distributions before so I know
my way around the system... I think.
Here's my problem, I'm on a DSL connection and my ISP has recently switched
to using PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet). They have supplied
an Intel Redhat binarie and the source. I've downloaded the source code and
checked to make sure I have the libraries needed (libpcap-0.4, Libnet) and I
beleive I have them. The problem is when I go to run "make" for the pppoe
source it returns this series of messages shown below. To be honest I'm
confused, I've never heard of "little endian" or "big endian" before so I
have no idea where to start.
Any Idea's?
Regards,
Andrew
