  Just another recommendation:  You may have to remove one of the hton
  lines in dnsspoof to work properly with hostfiles. I ran into problems
  on gentoo and debian. On gentoo fixing the source worked well, on
  debian I had the same problems you had (old libs required).
  Sorry for not posting a patch - I don't have it ready to hand, but the
  specific line is not hard to find.

  Cheers,
