Check if tinc was compiled with support for the tun/tap driver. If you look in
your syslog, it should say "/dev/tun is a new style tun/tap device" if it is
compiled WITH tun/tap support, otherwise it was compiled without it.

If not, check if /usr/include/linux/if_tun.h exists. If not, make sure you have
the kernel source installed and create a symlink to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_tun.h. Then do a make clean; ./configure; make
install.
