devries Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ettercap probably expects libpcacp (.so???) at an other place then where Mandrake installed it. You can try making a symbolic link form the Mandrake installed libcpcap to where ettercap wants it. (ln -s /usr/bin/libpcap.so????? /usr/local/bin???????????/libpcap). Look in the error output for clues where to put the link Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 the issue is that you're compiling it you need the libraries/sources, not just the final compiled version. try installing libpcap-devel and then do the ./configure. you may find you'll need other -devel packages, too.

devries Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Oops... Go with Tymes advise... Read mine when you have errors during 'make' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 actually, yours could apply to ./configure too - but i don't think it does, in this specific case. ./configure wants to make sure you have all the libraries it requires before it compiles anything. errors during make are usually a result of bad or incompatable code. you can also sometimes specify what directories to look in, but usually ./configure will check all the directories in your environment that could be pertinent (i.e. /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, etc).

devries Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Yeah I know, I used to compile all the KDE Winows decoration/Styles from KDE-look before KDE had Plastik. I remember it took me 3 hours before I discovered I had to use --prefix=/usr before they would build. Ah those were the days........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
