Because tcpdump.org's libpcap, in all of the currently released versions, either doesn't support building shared libraries at all, or doesn't build them by default. > what can i do to create .so files compete . Either 1) *if* you're building for a platform where the linker is the GNU linker (Linux distributions, *BSD), do configure, make shared, and make install-shared or 2) get the top of the Git tree, where building shared libraries (whether they're called .so or .dylib or .sl or even .a, as in AIX) is the default and supported on a number of platforms. Note also that 0.9.4 is not the current release of libpcap from tcpdump.org - 1.0.0 is.- This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
