BY THE WAY, why are you compiling yourself? Raspbian packages of owfs-3.1p1 are available. Edit (or create) your /etc/apt/preferences to contain: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package: * Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=stable Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 300 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is important so you keep stable (Jessie) for all packages but the ones explicitly taken from testing (Stretch). Then, add a line -------------------------------------------------------------------------- deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ testing main contrib non-free rpi -------------------------------------------------------------------------- to your /etc/apt/sources.list to get access to the Raspbian testing repository. Do an $ sudo apt-get update to read the package metadata, then check $ sudo apt-cache policy whether the testing repo is there with priority 300. Then $ sudo apt-get update -t testing owserver ow-shell Kind regards Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
