Mandrake 9.1 & libpcap0 ?

[jt6w]

I've verified that libpcap0-0.7.2.1mdk was installed. I've read a post that Mandrake installs it as libpcap0 instead of libpcap. Is there a simple solution for this?

Currently I get the error

checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
configure: error: cannot find pcap_open_live in libpcap.

Hmm... find the libpcap0.a library or whatever and make a symlink to libpcap.a in the same directory.

See if that works.

ok. I had tried to create a link, but didn't do it right first time.


Basically, had to do the following

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libpcap.so.0.7 libpcap.a
ln -s libgdbm.so.2 libgdbm.a


After that my ./configure completed succesfully.

Now on to my next problem....
