libpcap 0.8.3 installation problem
Hi,
I am facing some problem in installing libpcap 0.8.3 for redhat 9.0, kernel 2.4.20-8 on i686 machine. I am installing libpcap in #/root/downloads/libpcap-0.8.3 with root priveleges. I have tried ./configure; make; make install ..well this fails below is the output; [root@localhost libpcap-0.8.3]# ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking gcc version... 3 checking for inline... inline checking for __attribute__... yes checking for u_int8_t using gcc... yes checking for u_int16_t using gcc... yes checking for u_int32_t using gcc... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for egrep... grep -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/stat.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes checking for memory.h... yes checking for strings.h... yes checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking sys/ioccom.h usability... no checking sys/ioccom.h presence... no checking for sys/ioccom.h... no checking sys/sockio.h usability... no checking sys/sockio.h presence... no checking for sys/sockio.h... no checking ifaddrs.h usability... yes checking ifaddrs.h presence... yes checking for ifaddrs.h... yes checking limits.h usability... yes checking limits.h presence... yes checking for limits.h... yes checking for netinet/if_ether.h... yes checking for ANSI ioctl definitions... yes checking for ether_hostton... yes checking for strerror... yes checking for strlcpy... no checking for vsnprintf... yes checking for snprintf... yes checking if --disable-protochain option is specified... enabled checking packet capture type... linux checking for getifaddrs... yes checking if --enable-ipv6 option is specified... no checking whether to build optimizer debugging code... no checking whether to build parser debugging code... no checking Linux kernel version... 2 checking if if_packet.h has tpacket_stats defined... yes checking whether we have /proc/net/dev... yes checking whether we have DAG API... no checking for flex... flex checking for flex 2.4 or higher... yes checking for bison... bison checking for ranlib... ranlib checking if sockaddr struct has sa_len member... no checking if sockaddr_storage struct exists... yes checking if dl_hp_ppa_info_t struct has dl_module_id_1 member... no checking if unaligned accesses fail... no checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: config.h is unchanged [root@localhost libpcap-0.8.3]# make gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./pcap-linux.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./fad-getad.c sed -e 's/.*/static const char pcap_version_string[] = "libpcap version &";/' ./ VERSION > version.h gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./pcap.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./inet.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./gencode.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./optimize.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./nametoaddr.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./etherent.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./savefile.c rm -f bpf_filter.c ln -s ./bpf/net/bpf_filter.c bpf_filter.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c bpf_filter.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./bpf_image.c gcc -O2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c ./bpf_dump.c flex -Ppcap_ -t ./scanner.l > $$.scanner.c; mv $$.scanner.c scanner.c bison -y -p pcap_ -d ./grammar.y [root@localhost libpcap-0.8.3]# make install [ -d /usr/local/lib ] || \ (mkdir -p /usr/local/lib; chmod 755 /usr/local/lib) /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 libpcap.a /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a ranlib /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a [ -d /usr/local/include ] || \ (mkdir -p /usr/local/include; chmod 755 /usr/local/include) /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./pcap.h /usr/local/include/pcap.h /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./pcap-bpf.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap-bpf.h /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./pcap-namedb.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap-namedb.h [ -d /usr/local/man/man3 ] || \ (mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man3; chmod 755 /usr/local/man/man3) /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./pcap.3 \ /usr/local/man/man3/pcap.3 thanks in advance. |

I don't see it failing. It looks like a successfull install. |
Well,
When I verified the libpcap version in using tcpdump...the output displayed libpcap-0.6.2....I guess that does mean libpcap-0.8.3 is not in use.... Now this leads me to understand that libpcap-0.8.3 is not installed..am I missing any steps here.... |
It looks like it installed fine. At least, I don't see any errors. What makes you thing that tcpdump will automatically pick up the new libpcap that you just installed? On my system (Fedora), tcpdump is not dynamically linked to libpcap.
Code:
[todd@perl todd]$ ldd /usr/sbin/tcpdump Even if tcpdump were dynamically linked and ld.so.conf was properly configured, it still may not pick up the new libpcap because the version numbers are quite different. You have no assurance that those libraries are binary compatible. My advice is to rebuild tcpdump and have it link to the new libpcap. |
