Description Viperlin 2004-12-29 12:12:49 UTC 
dsniff fails to compile because dependancy libnet does not exist, however libnet IS installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




temporary soloution :
downgrade to net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a-r3 then compile dsniff as usual
then you may re-compile libnet to latest version if you wish

please don't be so unspecific. name the exact versions, provide `emerge info`, ...
Comment 2 Viperlin 2004-12-29 16:32:04 UTC 
oops, well theres only dsniff-2.3-r2.ebuild in portage, but yes i was stupid to forget the version. and messed up others too, i am sorry

libnet 1.1 series will not be detected by the configure script however the 1.0 series is, i beleve it is just a slight modification to change where/how it checks for libnet but i am not sure.

it happens on 3 seperate gentoo computers here, and others in other places.

Comment 3 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-12 00:57:59 UTC 
net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a-r3 is the version it needs. >=libnet-1.1 can be installed at the same time.

Please include output of the failure you get. Also attach the config.log from /var/tmp/portage/dsniff-2.3-r2/work/dsniff-2.3/config.log if it does fail.

This worked for me fine.

please attach info and reopen if this is still a problem.
