23.12.2013, 21:48, "Evgheni Antropov" <aidjek () gmail com>:Hello I have try to compile tcpdump-4.5.1.tar.gz with libpcap-1.5.2.tar.gz and receive following error: checking for pcap-config... /usr/local/bin/pcap-config checking for pcap_loop... no configure: error: Report this to tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org, and include the config.log file in your report. If you have downloaded libpcap from tcpdump.org, and built it yourself, 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, as this could be a problem with the libpcap that was built, and we will not be able to determine why this is happening, and thus will not be able to fix it, without that information, as we have not been able to reproduce this problem ourselves.List, last week I ran into this issue once but could not reproduce afterwards. My guess is this error is specific to non-straightforward builds of libpcap and/or leftovers across multiple build attempts.
I don't know if that is related but a different way to trigger this failure on Solaris/SPARC is to compile libpcap in 64-bit mode and then to try compiling tcpdump in default 32-bit mode. The configure script will fail with the message and the log file will contain: configure:5774: checking for local pcap library configure:5983: result: ./../libpcap/libpcap.a configure:5987: checking for pcap-config configure:6005: found ./../libpcap/pcap-config configure:6017: result: ./../libpcap/pcap-config configure:6079: checking for pcap_loop configure:6079: gcc -o conftest -DINET6 -I/usr/inet6/include -g -O2 conftest.c ./../libpcap/libpcap.a -lsocket -lnsl -lsocket -lnsl -lsmi >&5 ld: warning: file ./../libpcap/libpcap.a(pcap.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Undefined first referenced symbol in file pcap_loop /var/tmp//cc63sAMt.o ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors.
