Has anyone had any luck building iptraf on LFS-6.1?
I recieve the same errors weather I build 3.0.0 or 2.7.0. Here is the complie
errors that I recieve from the 3.0.0 version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/iptraf-3.0.0/src# make

-DEXECDIR=\"/usr/local/bin\" -I/usr/include/ncurses -I../support
-DVERSION=\"3.0.0\" -DPLATFORM=\"Linux/i386\" -c -o iptraf.o iptraf.c
In file included from tcptable.h:27,
from iptraf.c:54:

Find your local google mirror (actually, that's quite hard - google for
iptraf ebuild), then go into the net-analyzer/iptraf directory and dig
out the iptraf-2.7.0-2.6 patch (no, I've no idea if it still applies to
3.0.0) - looks like the 2.6 kernel headers break it.
You might also want to try some of the Rock Linux patches, although at
least one of those only causes 'make' to fail after an error, instead of
carrying on regardless.
Generally, the big name distros are more likely to tame the obscure
packages, so it can help to know where to look (particularly for older
stuff). I start by recommending gentoo and Rock because they use
conventional patches - fedora, mandriva, and suse require you to be able
to play with SRPMS (rpm2cpio script plus cpio, but care is still needed
when extracting) and debian/ubuntu provide diffs that include a *lot* of
debian-specific documentation etc.
