Configure PCAP Error

[TrainSpotter]

I have Everything Downloaded, all QT, GCC and whatnot.

Now im getting an error on Configuring ShowEQ

"Configure: error: cannot find pcap_open_live in libpcap."

What the hell is that?

You need libpcap. It is used for packet sniffing. It is a package that comes with most distributions. SEQ needs it installed.

[TrainSpotter]

if i do a emerge search pcap

it lists a buncha folders that have pcap stuff installed...

It shoulda been installed with Gentoo...

Try


emerge search libpcap

and make sure the 'Latest version installed' is a version and not 'Not Installed'. If it's a version, what does it say?

[S_B_R]

The easiest method I've found for getting libpcap is:
emerge tcpdump

I believe I did an emerge libpcap and that got it.
