Re: Problems compiling with --enable-inline on CentOS 5.1

[Todd Wease <twease () sourcefire com>]

There is a check in libnet.h:

#if !(__linux__)
#include <netinet/ip_var.h>
#else   /* __linux__ */
#if (HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H)
#include <net/ethernet.h>
#endif  /* HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H */
#endif  /* __linux__ */

Just curious what the output is from configuring libnet.  On a 64bit 
Fedora Core 6, I get warnings about being an unsupported OS.  Also, 
HAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H does not get defined.  Not sure why I didn't have 
the same problem.
