Problems with compile under ubuntu 7.10

Getting the following during my compile on a new Ubuntu install. Been a while since I've been able to get a decent linux box running.

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/qt3 -I. -DPKGDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share/showeq/\" -I/usr/include/pcap -D_REENTRANT -O2 -Wall -g -ggdb -DDEBUG -finline-functions -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT=1 -DDISPLAY_ICONS=false -DICON_DIR=\"/eq-icons/\" -g -O2 -MT packetcapture.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/packetcapture.Tpo -c -o packetcapture.o packetcapture.cpp

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pat/showeq-5.12.0.0'

Any ideas on this? I know just enoug c to have an idea of what it's telling me but no idea how to get past it. Thanks for any help.

most likely due to ubuntus crapy pcap, try this and recomplie


sudo nano /usr/include/pcap.h

Change


int pcap_lookupnet(char *, bpf_u_int32 *, bpf_u_int32 *, char *);

To


int pcap_lookupnet(const char *, bpf_u_int32 *, bpf_u_int32 *, char *);

ps : serach is your friend , this has been discussed many times before =)

Thank you for your response, that worked, and apologies as while I did search I just didn't find that solution.
