Ethereal-users: RE: [Ethereal-users] Non-Standard libpcap installation...
You have compiled libpcap.a I suppose?
It should them just be a case of adding the appropriate
-with-pcap=/path/to/pcap/source to the options you give the ./configure
command
Or butchering configure add adding
-L/path/to/libpcap
where-ever -lpcap is referenced

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Non-Standard libpcap installation...
Hi,
I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, but I searched the
list archives / web and could not find a relevant discussion. I'm trying to
compile Ethereal 0.8.18 from source on a system with a non-standard libpcap
installation (or non-installion as its just the libpcap source directory).
I've
been playing around with the autoconf stuff in aclocal.m4 and can get the
configure script to find the pcap.h and net/bpf.h include files, but it
fails
when it tries the pcap_live_open() check complaining of not being able to
find
-lpcap. Does anyone know the magic I need to perform to get the configure
script to "see" the appended library path? BTW, I'm working on a RH 7.1
system
w/o the libpcap / tcpdump RPM's installed. Thanks in advance.
