Unable to open rtnetlink socket

[Christian Lyra]

Hi all,

	I'm trying to use bird as a BGP peer, but although I could compile/install 
it I couldnt run. I got the " Unable to open rtnetlink socket" error and 
can't go on. I looked for errors on bird.conf, but it seems to be ok. 
	I couldnt find a FAQ so I'm asking for your help. What's wrong?

	BTW, I'm using bird-1.0.5


		Thanks in advance
