A config.log file should be text, so if "non-text attachments" means "attachments with a media type other than text/plain" (or maybe "other than text/*"), that shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure the attachment is a text/plain attachment rather than, for example, an application/octet-stream attachment. Or, alternatively, put it on a server (if you don't have one of your own to use, try it as a public or unlisted attachment to pastebin.com or some service such as that) and put the URL in the mail. In addition, if the configure error involved not finding pcap_loop(), this is probably the result of a problem with *libpcap*; if you downloaded libpcap source, as well as tcpdump source, and built it and are attempting to link tcpdump with that libpcap (rather than attempting to link it with the OS's libpcap), please also include the config.log file from the libpcap source directory, the Makefile from the libpcap source directory, and the output of the make process for libpcap (the current top-of-trunk tcpdump configure script asks you to send all of those if it doesn't find pcap_loop()). _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
