Having issues compiling

[Jerry Wol]

Hi all,

I need some help in being able to compile netacct-mysql. This is the ./configure command I use:

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/
sbin --with-libpcap-include=/usr/include/pcap

it goes through fine and returns to prompt without error. Then I type "make" and the following error comes up:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/netacct-mysql-0.78beta3'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/netacct-mysql-0.78beta3/src'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I..   -I/sbin/include         -D__FAVOR_BSD
-I/usr/include/mysql  -g -O2 -c main.c
In file included from main.c:12:
netacct.h:20:18: pcap.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/netacct-mysql-0.78beta3/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/netacct-mysql-0.78beta3'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I know I have pcap.h as I located it in:

/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h

I dont know why its coming up with this error. My system details are:

P3 750
512MB Ram
Redhat 7.3
libpcap-0.6.2-12
gcc-2.96-110
mysql-3.23.49-3

thanks for your help in advance.

I'm having the same problem, did you find any solution?

I will be a bit more specific:

I'm using Fedora Core 1, I tryed Mysql 4 and Mysql 3.23.

This is the error I receive:

make

install zlib or libz package

[Nikolay Hristov]

if libpcap headers are in /usr/include/pcap/
then use --with-libpcap-include=/usr/include because in *.c files it is included like this

include <pcap/pcap.h>

anyway you need this option in case when you have installed libpcap library at non-default place .. by default configure script looks in: /usr/include and /usr/local/include so you do not need to pass this option to configure script

on other unix systems like solaris pcap may be installed anywhere so this is why i have added such option
