Hello the list. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season.I'm looking for a bit of help with libpcap in a Solaris 9 environment, in pursuit of compiling ettercap. I'm running into a problem that seems to be libpcap-related, and hopefully someone has seen this.
The Environment =============== Solaris 9 Kernel 118558-39 gcc v3.3.2 flex v2.5.34 bison v2.3 m4 v1.4.9 libnet v1.1.2.1 libpcap v0.9.8 ettercap v0.7.3 ld, ar, ranlib, strip are stock Solaris 9 libpcap was successfully built and installed with "--disable-ipv6": me@host $ ls -l /usr/include/pcap* lrwxrwxrwx /usr/include/pcap-bpf.h -> /opt/pcap/include/pcap-bpf.h lrwxrwxrwx /usr/include/pcap-namedb.h -> /opt/pcap/include/pcap-namedb.h lrwxrwxrwx /usr/include/pcap.h -> /opt/pcap/include/pcap.h me@host $ ls -l /usr/lib/libpcap.* lrwxrwxrwx /usr/lib/libpcap.a -> /opt/pcap/lib/libpcap.a The Problem =========== When I run configure for ettercap: ./configure --disable-gtk I get: [....] checking for libpcap... yes checking for pcap_datalink_val_to_description in -lpcap... no configure: error: Incorrect libpcap version. libpcap >= 0.8.1 required Looking in pcap.h, the function is defined: me@host $ grep datalink /usr/include/pcap.h [....] const char *pcap_datalink_val_to_description(int); AFAICT, this shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
