Assuming that you type "make install", you'll get /usr/bin/install -c tcpdump /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump /usr/bin/install -c tcpdump /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump.`cat ./VERSION` which means that "tcpdump" is whatever version you most recently installed, and "tcpdump.4.4.0" is the specific version. How is this a problem? _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
