[Os-sim-support] Compiling Arpwatch

[Jon U. <jur...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I have a problem compiling arpwatch with libpcap and pf_ring support. I 
got the sources from the authors site, version 2.1a15. Compilation goes 
allright with normal parameters... It runs ok... But when I try to run 
it on our production environment, I have an interface with no ip address 
assigned, just a monitored link, and it always cries in the logs that it 
needs an ip address to run. The debian packaged binary didn't cry for 
it. I'm running the two binnaries in the same way, same parameters:

#arpwatch -d -d -i eth1 -f /var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat

Is it a compilation option that I don't see?
Is it a runtime option?
Should I assign an ip address to make it run, even if I don't need it 
for anything (we have another admin interface)?

Thanx,

Jon
