Hi,
What I am observing on my Arch Linux:
I use netsniff-ng mostly from compiled sources, and I see that
/usr/local/share/man/man8 does not exist on my system too, so I think I
should get the same error. netsniff-ng uses /usr/local as default prefix
for destination installed files. So you can specify your own prefix like:
$ PREFIX=/usr make install
or create /usr/local/share/man/man8 folder with correct permissions.
Regards,
