Description Rigo 2002-05-12 06:34:41 UTC
Keep getting: 

checking for extraneous pcap header directories... found --  -I/usr/include
added to CFLAGS
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: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 36, Exitcode 1
!!! bad ./configure

!!! emerge aborting on 
/usr/portage/net-analyzer/ethereal/ethereal-0.9.3-r1.ebuild .

Although I checked and the headers are there (/usr/include/net/bpf.h) I keep
getting these errors....
Comment 1 Rigo 2002-05-12 06:35:52 UTC
And libpcap doesn't have a 'make install-incl' option :(

howdy. you have a weird problem and a difficult one for me to solve because I
can't reproduce this on my machine.

Some stuff that may help me though: can you send me your use flags? (as a
comment on this bug). Also, if you can determine what's going on and correct it,
that will definately help.

Rigo, any news on this?
Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-04 22:54:13 UTC
Rigo, please remerge libpcap and try this again.

Since there has been no update for a while, I am closing this bug.  If need be,
please reopen it.

Ethereal's compiled fine for me in the past, but when I try to compile the new
0.9.5 ebuild it fails as documented by the original bug filer. I've tried
unmerging and remerging libpcap, but I still get the same error.

I have no USE flags set, and although it shouldn't matter since 0.9.4 and
previous worked fine, I use GCC 3.1 as my compiler.
