Dear Sir,
That's the stuff with config.log; the experts will be able to help, if I
can't,
Here's where it fails
configure:8623: checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap
configure:8654: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -Wshadow
-Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations

+-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c
-lpcap -lpcap >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:8657: $? = 1

configure:8675: result: no
What this says to me is that
. -lpcap is insufficient to find libpcap.so even with -L/usr/local/lib
and -L/usr/X11R6/lib
. libpcap.so is therefore not known to ldconfig or found in the above
paths
==> you need to help configure out by providing either a LIBS
environment variable (?) or a -L/path/to/libpcap
Or
==> the libpcap you have is 'not working too well' (if it was found, it
is also missing other pcap functions so this is a possibility).
To eliminate the last option, try compiling the test program - __without
the |s'__; save it as x.c somewhere convenient with -
gcc -o foo foo.c <all the gcc options above> -L/path/to/libpcap
If that's Ok, then you can try and pass the libpcap path to configure
with the --with-pcap-lib option (see ./configure --help).
Again, I am hope I am not wasting your time. This is what I would
do however.
You may find that there is a Mandrake package on SourceForge ?
Yours sincerely.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
