Description Ludootje 2004-04-17 11:10:17 UTC

While running ettercap, I got this error:
----
 Ooops !! Somewhere in the stack a pointer got crazy...
 [ettercap] Segmentation Fault...

 To report this error follow these steps:

  1) recompile ettercap in debug mode :
        "configure --enable-debug && make clean && make"
  2) reproduce the critical situation

etc etc etc
----

So I checked if I installed ettercap using emerge, to reinstall it with a USE="+debug":

----
<root@gax ~> # emerge -pv ettercap
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-analyzer/ettercap-0.6.10-r1  +ncurses +ssl  0 kB
----

Apparently, I can't install it with the debug option, while according to ettercap there is a debug option.

Could a debug option be added to the ebuild?

Reproducible: Didn't try

0.6.11 is now stable in portage with this option.
