I did not even realize how senseless my email was :( ... I am sorry. What I was asking was about two separate issues:
1. None of the source code packages depending on libpcap, can find it (e.g. arpwatch, ethereal, etc.), when trying to "./configure" them (my actual question) AND 2. The totally separate issue in the NOTE, which refers to a broken thing in the urpmi, somwhere, as no packages attempted to be installed are found. I "bundled" the two together because the urpmi option was one I was willing to try for ethereal, if the answer to 1. was not available ... but this one failed me totally :( Thx, Stef On Tuesday 26 November 2002 04:28 pm, stefmit wrote: > Sorry if this gets reposted ...
