Linux distributions, and possibly other OSes, may have separate "run-time" and "developer" packages for various libraries and frameworks; the "run-time" package contains what's sufficient to allow binary programs that use the library or framework to run, but *not* what's sufficient to allow you to *compile* programs that use the library or framework, so, to compile those programs, you need to install the "developer" package.) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
