I am too having the exact same problem. I have tried to install the latest honeyd (honeyd-0.8b) on redhat 7.3, and fedora core2. Both end up with the same error (checking for working addr_cmp in libdnet... configure: error: you need to install a more recent version of libdnet ). Ive installed libdnet (libdnet-1.8) with no errors, along with libevent (libevent-0.8) with no errors. This is driving me nuts. I noticed on honeyd.org that it says that Honeyd should compile and run on *BSD systems, GNU/Linux and Solaris. Well if anyone has a clue how to fix this let me know. I'm going to install freebsd now, and if that doesn't work, I'll go the 2k server route. jamie

I had the same problem with RH8.0; I got the following error when running ./configure: checking for working addr_cmp in libdnet... configure: error: you need to install a more recent version of libdnet I'm not a developer, so most of the configure script does not make much sense to me. However, I noticed that the configure script for arpd also does a check for the addr_cmp function in libdnet and it did not complain about it. As far as I could tell, libdnet had installed correctly on my system and arpd is working ok, so I decided to hack the honeyd configure script so that it did not complain about libdnet. Here's the diff between the original and my modified version of configure. As you will see, I just replaced the original test for addr_cmp with the test in the configure script of arpd. 5879,5881c5879,5883 < { { echo "$as_me:5879: error: you need to install a more recent version of libdnet" >&5 < echo "$as_me: error: you need to install a more recent version of libdnet" >&2;} < { (exit 1); exit 1; }; } ---
echo "$as_me:5879: result: no" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6 cat >>confdefs.h <<\EOF #define HAVE_BROKEN_DNET 1 EOF
I'm sure that someone on the list will be able to provide a more authoritative answer (and maybe they will tell me that my honeyd installation is broken as a result of the above kludge), however, from the limited testing that I have done with honeyd, it seems to be working ok. Nick
