Bug 12459 – kismet ebuild needs dependency on libpcap

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nate Lynch 2002-12-19 18:06:53 UTC]

When attempting to merge the kismet-2.6.2 ebuild, I encounter the following
error during the configure step:

<snip>
checking net/bpf.h usability... no
checking net/bpf.h presence... no
checking for net/bpf.h... no
configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed libpcap from
source, did you also do "make install-incl"?

!!! ERROR: net-wireless/kismet-2.6.2 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 11, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

</snip>

I emerged libpcap 0.7.1, and kismet builds fine.  I think libpcap needs to
be added to the DEPEND in the ebuild (it was there in the older ebuild).  I
bumped the minimum version of libpcap up to 0.7.1-r1, since there was some prism
support added in that level.

Here's the patch.
