tcpreplay can't cross compile as configure.ac use AC_RUN_IFELSE without defining a cross-compiling result : ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=i586-alix-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --locals tatedir=/var/lib +--enable-shared --disable-local-libopts --with-tcpdump=/usr/sbin/tcpdump --without-pcapnav-config --disable-debug ... checking for library containing pcap_close... -lpcap checking for libpcap version... configure: error: in `/usr/i586-alix-linux-gnu/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/tcpreplay-3.4.4-r1/work/tcpreplay-3.4.4': configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling So here is a fix to default to last pcap release configure: Building tcpbridge checking for PF_PACKET socket sending support... yes checking for BPF device sending support... configure: error: in `/usr/i586-alix-linux-gnu/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/tcpreplay-3.4.4-r1/work/tcpreplay-3.4.4': configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling Same case, and use AC_CACHE_CHECK to let users define ac_cv_have_bpf and control the result if cross compiling : configure: Building tcpbridge checking for PF_PACKET socket sending support... yes checking for BPF device sending support... configure: error: cross-compiling, presetting ac_cv_have_bpf=(yes|no) will help This apply on 3.4.4, I did check for 3.4.5_beta2, this should apply too.

Thank you Bertrand. Will be fixed with next version bump.
Still no new version out, so fixed in 3.4.4-r2 and 3.4.5_beta3.
