Libcap Installation Question

2007-01-19 Thread linux quest
When I am trying to install 'ngrep' in UNIX by issuing the 'make install clean' 
command in the ' /usr/ports/ngrep location ', I got an 'Error code 1'. It also 
states that there is a dependencies for pcap.2 which is not found in ' 
/usr/ports/net/libcap ' 

So, I go to '/usr/ports/net/libcap' - with the intention to issue a 'make 
install clean' command. However, UNIX gave me a message that there is no such 
file or directory.

Any ideas, how I may be able to install libcap for UNIX? Thanks.

Firstly. Do you have the latest ports tree?
secondly are you running this as root (or via sudo)
secondly, what options did you choose when you ran 'make install clean'
  ie. i'm guessing you choose ports pcap.
Doing
'cd /usr/ports/net/ngrep  make '
myself gives

so you need /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a
and the port for this is /usr/ports/net/libpcap

I suggest you update your ports tree (cvsup or portsnap as you prefer)
and try again, otherwise choose base libpcap.
(copy and paste if you can cause you made a few typos in this email
which could have hindered troubleshooting)
