Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] linux package requirements for wireshark build

[Alan Partis <alpartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For clarity, the problem I'm seeing, I think, is that the ./configure
script fails the CheckFunctionExists check for "inet_ntop" on the Fedora
24 system, but succeeds on my Fedora 25 system.  However, on both systems,
the arpa/inet.h header is there.
