I tried to install etherape, and one of the deps was libpcap-0.8.1, so it emerged that but then etherape says: configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"? so libpcap ebuild did not obviously perform this process Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge libpcap 2.emerge etherape Actual Results: configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"? Expected Results: compile properly
Created attachment 23381 [details] This may not be the same issue but libpcap failed for me on the patch This is a cat of /var/tmp/portage/libpcap-0.8.1/temp/libpcap-0.8.1-fPIC.patch-21078.out
matt's bug is unrelated, see Bug 37132 i think it's an etherape bug since libpcap installs the header files, just into /usr/include/
No this is a libpcap has dropped a include file kind of bug. For better support of systems that have net/bpf.h (*bsd i guess) libpcap no longer installs a net/bpf.h but rather a pcap-bpf.h. So either all applications that use libpcap should be fixed to use pcap-bpf.h or libpcap-0.8.1 and later ebuilds should include a soft link between /usr/include/pcap-bpf.h and /usr/include/net/bpf.h
i'd opt to fix packages rather than libpcap ... is etherape the only one that dies ?
This report are only for compilation. If the binaries work or not has not been tested. All packages belongs to net-analyzer Current stable: Clean: tcpdump, angst, arping, arpwatch, darkstat, ethereal?, hping, iftop, iplog, nettop, ntop, tcpflow, tcpstat, tcptrace, tcptraceroute, thcrut, xprobe, zodiac, sniffit, scanssh, trafshow Broken: ngrep, argus(broken ebuild as well), etherape, tcpslice, p0f, ssldump, trafd driftnet works but have other problems och egressor doesn't work in stable but not because of this bug Packages below doesn't include ones where stable==latest or any where status haven't changed. Some of these have no stable version Latest: Clean: barnyard, fragroute, jnettop, lft,ns,nstats,nsat,pktstat,siphon-666 Broken: traffic-vis
ppp is also broken if you have useflag activefilter dnshijack and dnstop from net-dns are okay libnids och netwib are okay in net-misc dhcpagent,nemesis(potentially for other reasons) fails whilst arpd are okay (but other problems) so is rarpd airsnort,airtraf,kismet,wepattack are okay showeq probably works but i didn't feel like compiling qt just to test it. Net-Pcap, Net-RawIP and pylibpcap are okay too.
Ethereal's clean because its configure script doesn't check for net/bpf.h and because it doesn't directly include <net/bpf.h> - it includes <pcap.h>, which included <net/bpf.h> in pre-0.8.1 libpcap releases and includes <pcap-bpf.h> in 0.8.1 and later releases. Etherape's not clean because its configure script (at least in 0.9.0) uses an old version of Ethereal's AC_ETHEREAL_PCAP_CHECK macro; a reasonable fix would be to get it to use the current AC_ETHEREAL_PCAP_CHECK macro, although some of the checks in there could be removed if Etherape doesn't use "pcap_version[]" or any of the newer functions for which it checks. That might be the case with other applications - they don't *need* <net/bpf.h>, they just check for it instead of checking for <pcap.h>. Applications that *do* include <net/bpf.h> directly and also include <pcap.h> should try just including <pcap.h>. Applications that include <net/bpf.h> directly and don't use libpcap are platform-dependent, as they don't have libpcap to hide the details of how to hand a BPF program to the kernel. On BSD, AIX, and Digital UNIX, they should include <net/bpf.h>; on Linux distributions, they should include <linux/filter.h> or, if glibc has its own version of that header, the glibc version. (FYI, the OS for which pcap-bpf.h was created was AIX - libpcap needs to include the OS's <net/bpf.h>, not any <net/bpf.h> provided by libpcap, in pcap-bpf.c in order to get an AIX structure definition to load the BPF driver.)
*** Bug 40289 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
etherape, ngrep, argus, p0f, ssldump and traffic-vis fixed. If you find any other packages that fails to compile becuse of this please file a bug report.
