Desparately need libpcap and libpcap-dev !

[William Pretty Security]

Hello All;

 

I am (still) trying to get Wireshark to build on the latest Angstrom distribution.

I am at the point now where ./configure is looking for ‘pcap.h’ and can’t find it.

 

I tried opkg list to find “libpcap” and it doesn’t appear to be in the standard repository.

 

Does anybody know a solution to this ? I have pasted the error from ./ config below.

 

Thanks

 

Bill

 

From WireShark "Configure":

 

checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes

checking for pcap-config... no

checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found

checking pcap.h usability... no

checking pcap.h presence... no

checking for pcap.h... no

configure: error: Header file pcap.h not found; if you installed libpcap

from source, did you also do "make install-incl", and if you installed a

binary package of libpcap, is there also a developer's package of libpcap,

and did you also install that package?

Did you do 'opkg update' first?
