[Labrea-users] LaBrea on Fedora Core 5

[Daniel <da...@je...>]

Hello.

I've just compiled labrea-2.5-stable-1 on Fedora Core 5.

Now, when running labrea It gives the following output, and then dies:

<snip>
Tue Aug 15 17:07:54 2006  User specified capture subnet / mask:
xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24
Tue Aug 15 17:07:54 2006  LaBrea will attempt to capture unused IPs.

Tue Aug 15 17:07:54 2006  0/0 packets (received/dropped) by filter
</snip>

I guess LaBrea doesn't like the version of libpcap I'm running, so any
ideas on what needs to be done to make this work?

Relevant(?) software installed:
gcc-4.1.1-1.fc5
make-3.80-10.2
libpcap-0.9.4-2.1.2
libdnet-1.10-2.fc5
kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp

Best regards, /Daniel.
