Problem getting gopacket

[webus...@gmail.com]

I'm on ubuntu 14.04

I ran:

go get code.google.com/p/gopacket/pfring

But am getting the following error:

# code.google.com/p/gopacket/pfring

src/code.google.com/p/gopacket/pfring/pfring.go:13:20: fatal error: pfring.h: No such file or directory

 #include <pfring.h>

I installed pcap-dev:

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

WU

Pfring is not pcap. They are different methods of packets off the wire. You need to install the dev package for pfring.

I tried to google for a package for pfring and did not find one. Any idea what the package name is for ubuntu...

Thanks,

Thanks. Installing that got me past the previous error. Then I got the following error:

# code.google.com/p/gopacket/pfring

//usr/local/lib/libpfring.so: undefined reference to `numa_node_of_cpu'

//usr/local/lib/libpfring.so: undefined reference to `numa_bind'

//usr/local/lib/libpfring.so: undefined reference to `numa_parse_nodestring'

//usr/local/lib/libpfring.so: undefined reference to `numa_available'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I had to install the libnuma package:

sudo apt-get install libnuma-dev

Still no luck. Then I had to change the following line in pfring.go 

#cgo LDFLAGS: -lpfring -lpcap

to 

#cgo LDFLAGS: -lpfring -lpcap -lnuma -lrt

Now everything looks good...
