Thanks, I tried, but I'm still having linking problems.

Sorry I didn't undestand this part, the pourpose of check is to include tests on a particular software right? what we do is: - build ettercap, - build tests (linked against check) - run tests. so check is not linked against ettercap, but only against test code, and it isn't shipped with any installer, is just for running testsuites. Do you have any better way for running tests on ettercap project? thanks for your answers!
