When I try to emerge ettercap, it seems to go along compiling properly until ec_capture.c, at which point it gives quite a few errors about undefined symbols and parse errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install portage on OS X 2. Emerge the dependencies for ettercap 3. type "emerge ettercap" Actual Results: jorge@localhost ettercap$ USE="-ncurses -ssl" emerge ettercap Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-analyzer/ettercap-0.7.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) ettercap-NG-0.7.0.tar.gz >>> Checking ettercap-NG-0.7.0.tar.gz's mtime... >>> WORKDIR is up-to-date, keeping... .......... .......... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -O2 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -O2 -pipe -c -o ettercap-ec_conntrack.o `test -f 'ec_conntrack.c' || echo './'`ec_conntrack.c ec_capture.c: In function `capture_init': ec_capture.c:192: warning: implicit declaration of function `pcap_datalink_val_to_description' ec_capture.c: In function `capture_getifs': ec_capture.c:286: error: `pcap_if_t' undeclared (first use in this function) ec_capture.c:286: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ec_capture.c:286: error: for each function it appears in.) ec_capture.c:286: error: `dev' undeclared (first use in this function) ec_capture.c:286: error: `pdev' undeclared (first use in this function) ec_capture.c:286: error: `ndev' undeclared (first use in this function) ec_capture.c:286: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect ec_capture.c:286: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect ec_capture.c:292: warning: implicit declaration of function `pcap_findalldevs' ec_capture.c:292: error: parse error before ')' token ec_capture.c:296: error: parse error before ')' token ec_capture.c:302: error: `PCAP_IF_LOOPBACK' undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [ettercap-ec_capture.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 !!!

Expected Results: Ettercap should have compiled properly and installed I tried several combination of use flags, but it didn't seem to make a difference
Reassigned to Gentoo/MacOS team since it's not fbsd/obsd related.
it seems that the pcap version used to compile it is not the required one (0.8.3). try upgrading libpcap to that version (and be sure to not have another different header file in the path). bye
old osx related, see you in prefix
