Syntax error on BIRD Configuratrion

[Mo Shivji]

Hi

I am in the process of testing BIRD and am having a problem with
starting BIRD with a simple BGP peering configuration

I get this error when I load the configuration,

$bird# /sbin/bird -c bird.conf
bird: bird.conf, line 21: syntax error


This is my configuration,
---------------------------------------
$bird # more bird.conf
router id 192.168.253.5;



protocol kernel {
        persist;                # Don't remove routes on BIRD shutdown
        scan time 20;           # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds
        export all;             # Default is export none
        }

protocol device {
        scan time 20;           # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds
        }
protocol direct {
        interface "*";
        }


protocol bgp {
        local as 8714;
        neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 1234;
        source address 10.0.0.254;
        import all;
                }
---------------------------------------

The errors says there is a a systax error where I I specify the neighbor
that my server peers with. I can not see anything wrong here. Am I
missing something ?
