Sounds like you are in a similar place I was years ago with FreeBSD - and it is not a good place!
Sounds like you are missing numerous dependencies. You need to fix those, specifically the building environments. Or, you could maybe get a prebuilt binary from somewhere. I'm not familiar with OBSD so can't help much there. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Wed Mar 31 05:35:42 2010 Subject: [Ntop] can't compile ntop on openbsd 4.1 Hello list, I'm angry, frustrated and discouraged. i'm trying to run ntop on my obsd but i'm facing problems one after the other since days. I can install ntop 1.1 from openbsd 4.1 repo, but i can see that is very old, mostly useless, and also cannot be queried on web interface (also if it is supposed to do the job, all the advices I found were: move to a recent version. there is no way to let him accept the -w parameter). So, i tried to compile the latest 3.4.xxx.tar.gz but sounds like a big mess: ... 8. Running ./configure ... I am going to run ./configure with no arguments if you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line. ./autogen.sh[412]: ./configure: not found .. i tried to read docs, old messages and also google did not help in any way. Feeling lucky, i tried one more different version, 3.2 since the autogen.sh has been introduced from version 3.2.x on. but once again a problem: if i run ./configure ... checking dependency style of gcc... (cached) gcc3 ******************************************************************* * * Checking for unique options for i386-unknown-openbsd4.1, gcc... * * i386-unknown-openbsd4.1 is an unknown/unsupported OS * ******************************************************************* ... sounds interesting. google suggested to run the parameter --enable-iknowbetter, so: ./configure --enable-iknowbetter .... ******************************************************************* * * ERROR: pcap header, bpf or library routines are missing * (yes means it was found, no means it was not found) * * pcap.h...no * net/bpf.h...no * pcap-bpf.h...no * pcap_open_live() in -lpcap...no * pcap_findalldevs() in -lpcap...no * * (One of the bpf files is required, but either will do) * *>>> No way to proceed. * *??? 1.
