I ran rpm --rebuild ksniffer.src.rpm, but it complained about not finding headers like qcolor.h, qfont.h, qstrlist.h, and many others. I saw that those where in the qt-devel package. What I don't undestand is that this package IS installed and the headers ARE on my system. So, I'm stuck. Any clue? Another thing is : even if I can install and use ksniffer, I'll be able to monitor my network (and that's already good) but my main purpose is to understand how those things work. So I ask again : can anyone tell me where I could find basic documentation about snmp and network monitoring? Thanx Flupke
