Re: [toolbox-l] AIX Toolbox for Linux - Etherape binary

[Marc S. <ma...@au...>]

We've had requests for a couple of things which use libpcap, so it's on the
list.  This is the first request for Etherape.  We've had multiple 
requests for Ethereal, but none for NetSaint or Ntop.  Commo isn't my area of 
expertise, but we'll enlist some help to flush out our offerings in that
area.  You can submit a "bug report" to request the tools at our
project page at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/aixtoolbox
to help us remember the request.

Did you build etherape using run-time linking?  That is, did you specify
-brtl when you built it?  I assume that you did, since it was unlikely 
that you would be able to link successfully without it.

I'm not sure if glade has been used extensively - it could easily be a 
problem there.

P.S. I forwarded this to the new mailing list, 
aix...@os....
