Actually, and pretty strangely, it means EXACTLY what it's saying. One of the first tests ./configure runs is to make sure that you really have the tools automake/autoconf ./configure programs require (this is standard automake/autoconf stuff, not something we've explicitly coded). e.g. these lines in configure.in:
AC_PROG_CPP AC_PROG_CC One of the tests is to make sure that the c compiler is 'good enough', i.e. that it accepts ANSI C 77 syntax. Typically this is the gcc (Gnu C compiler or a close clone). Failing that usually means you didn't install gcc. Or have a really, really (like 20 year old) version of cc. As usual, you can look in config.log to see the actual failure message, but that's not going to help. You need to install gcc and/or make sure that normal programs can find it (i.e. check your path) -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex > Francu > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 11:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Ntop] RE:RE: Slackware 9.1 pcap_open_live() (Burton M.
