Hello Everyone...
I have spent the whole day just trying to Install Libpcap and Ethereal.
(the last 4 days was spent trying to get the correct RH drivers for my
lappy!!).
OK!...the progress report...I finally got pass the first 3 problems that
I have earlier requested help for...thank you all for listening and
helping me...here's a list of the problems and my fixes:
"./configure" cannot run?? - Do not Unzip AND un-tar in windows before
copying it over! Somehow the "carriage return" becomes ^M in Linux, then
the Configure script will not run.
"pcap.h" not found?? - Remember to install libpcap-devel.RPM AND
lipcap.RPM...somehow it did not work for me when I just had one version
installed.
"ltconfig wrong version"?? - Red-Hat 7.2 comes with libtool ver 1.4.
Download and install the 1.3.4RPM. Maybe the next version of Ethereal
will fix this one.?
- I hope the above will help more like me...:)
LASTESTS PROBLEM!! - "ln" : Cannot create both symbolic and hard Links!,
operation not permitted.
I am not sure what's wrong with this one. I had the same problem when
installing libpcap also, but I got arnd it by substituting the "ln" with
a "cp" in the Make.in file. I am logged in as "root" and all the
appropriate rights for the folders seems to be in place too.
Please help!!!
Darren
p.s. what started out as a WLAN proj in Win2k seems to be evolving into
a obsession with linux!
