Ah, that's a bit confusing. There is a --disable-canusb, I think, so I'll try building libpcap with that option, which ought to eliminate needing to link with -lusb. I wonder if canusb sniffing is sufficiently rare, and forcing people to have libusb-dev around is sufficiently annoying that we should turn that off by default. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr () sandelman ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
