Nope, just something reasonably current (as in released more recently than 4
years ago).  IIRC pcap_findalldevs was introduced in 0.7.2, which was
released in February 2003...

"LIBPCAP 0.8.3

LIBPCAP version 0.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004. 0.8.3 fixes a
minor problem with gencode.c on 64-bit architectures. It also carries the
correct version numbers."

Subject: [Ntop] Problem with Ntop 3.1 and libpcap


I'm trying to compile Ntop 3.1 but am having a problem with the libpcap
library. I'm surprised since ntop has generally been very easy to build for
most of the revisions over the past 3 years. At least for me.

My build platform is a YellowDog Linux 3.0 system running on a G4 powermac.
When I run configure, I get a complaint like this:

* ERROR: pcap header, bpf or library routines are missing
*           (yes means it was found, no means it was not found)
*
*              pcap.h...yes
*              net/bpf.h...yes
*              pcap-bpf.h...no
*              pcap_open_live() in -lpcap...yes
*              pcap_findalldevs() in -lpcap...no
*
*  (One of the bpf files is required, but either will do)

The version of libpcap included with YDL 3.0 is an older version (0.6). I
found an RPM for my system that installs libcap version 0.8.3. After
installing that, I got this configure output:

* ERROR: pcap header, bpf or library routines are missing
*           (yes means it was found, no means it was not found)
*
*              pcap.h...yes
*              net/bpf.h...no
*              pcap-bpf.h...yes
*              pcap_open_live() in -lpcap...no
*              pcap_findalldevs() in -lpcap...no
*
*  (One of the bpf files is required, but either will do)

which is actually worse, since it doesn't even find the open_live()
function. 

So what am I missing? Does Ntop 3.1 require a development copy of libpcap?
