Look in config.log and see the actual error message. Instead of ./configure LIBS, you may want to create a configureextra/LINUXslackware9 file to provide a permanent solution for everyone.
However, I just updated Owl to Slackware 9.1 from 9 and it works perfectly... So I'm pretty sure it's something unique to your configuration. ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/usr/share --no-recursion --enable-i1 8n $ locate pcap.h /usr/include/pcap.h $ locate libpcap /usr/doc/libpcap-0.7.2 /usr/doc/libpcap-0.7.2/TODO ... /usr/doc/libpcap-0.7.2/CREDITS /usr/lib/libpcap.a And in config.log: configure:8233: checking for pcap configure:8235: result: configure:8307: checking pcap.h usability configure:8320: gcc -c -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-protot ypes -Wmissing-decl arations -Wnested-externs -fPIC -DLINUX -I/usr/local/include conftest.c >&5 configure:8323: $? = 0 configure:8326: test -s conftest.o configure:8329: $? = 0 configure:8339: result: yes configure:8343: checking pcap.h presence configure:8354: gcc -E -DLINUX -I/usr/local/include conftest.c configure:8360: $? = 0 configure:8379: result: yes configure:8415: checking for pcap.h configure:8422: result: yes configure:8436: checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap configure:8467: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prot otypes -Wmis sing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fPIC -DLINUX -I/usr/local/include -L/ usr/local/lib conftest.c -lpcap - lpcap >&5 configure:8470: $? = 0 configure:8473: test -s conftest configure:8476: $? = 0 configure:8488: result: yes configure:8499: checking for pcap_open_dead in -lpcap configure:8530: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prot otypes -Wmis sing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fPIC -DLINUX -I/usr/local/include -L/ usr/local/lib conftest.c -lpcap -l pcap -lpcap >&5 configure:8533: $? = 0 -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex > Francu > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 9:11 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Ntop] Slackware 9.1 pcap_open_live() > > > > > I'm trying to configure ntop-2.2.95 on a Slackware 9.1 and get the > following error : > > ################################################################## > ########## > ################# > Critical library/include tests... > > checking for pcap... > checking pcap.h usability... yes > checking pcap.h presence... yes > checking for pcap.h... yes > checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no > checking for pcap_open_dead in -lpcap... no > > ******************************************************************* > > * ERROR: pcap header or library routines are missing > * (yes means it was found, no means it was not found) > * > * pcap.h...yes > * pcap_open_live() in -lpcap...no > * > *>>> No way to proceed. > * > *??? 1.
