Trying to compile honeyd v1.0

["Brian Jameson" <brian () jameson co uk>]

Fedora Core 3 fully patched
libevent-1.0b installed
libdnet-1.8 installed with ./configure && make && make install
python-2.3.4-11 installed
python-devel-2.3.4-11 installed
python-ldap-2.0.1-2 installed

When I come to do the ./configure for honeyd I get the following message
'checking for working addr_cmp in libdnet... configure: error: you need to
install a more recent version of libdnet' I have tried honeyd-0.8b and get
the same message and I have tried ./configure --without-python all to no
avail. The configure.log has the line 'configure:6159: error: you need to
install a more recent version of libdnet' but looking at the configure
script I am none the wiser! After much googling and reading FAQ I see that
this has been seen before but I could not see how to implement the hack.

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong and how to put it right.
regards,
Brian
