Hi David,
I thought I had responded to the list with this one. Yes, I have. I
have also installed other packages that were suggested to make it
work, but unfortunately that hasn't helped either.The thing is everything seems to work fine till it gets close to
conclusion. The final messages I get are:checking for tgetnum in -ltermcap........no
checking for termcap in /usr/lib{64}/termcap/......no
configure: error: libtermcap not found in default paths nor /usr/lib
{64}/termcap
.I get that same error even using the --enable-shippedpcap option. I
am not sure what I am doing wrong, but something is amiss here.
yeah, and it's unlikely to have anything to do with libpcap! As the
output says, it's not finding libtermcap. Do you have libtermcap on your
system? It is currently required for the build. On my Fedora system, for
example, I have
$ rpm -ql libtermcap libtermcap-devel
/lib/libtermcap.so.2
/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
/usr/include/termcap.h
/usr/lib/libtermcap.a
/usr/lib/libtermcap.so
/usr/share/info/termcap.info.gz
If it's installed but ends up in an unusual location on Debian, please
let us know, otherwise try installing libtermcap and libtermcap-devel
and see if that fixes things...
Cheers,
Christian.
