[Sshguard-users] help needed building sshguard to use ip filter on solaris 8

[Steve O. <oc...@nc...>]

Hello,

I've using ip filter (ver. 3.4.32, 64 bit) on solaris 8 (sparc).

Now I'm trying to build sshguard 1.1 beta 3, since it doesn't appear that the stable branch 
supports using ip filter as the backend.

The configure script does not recgnoize ipf as being installed, even though it's in my path at 
/usr/sbin/ipf

I have tried running configure as

./configure --with-firewall=ipf

and it gives me error:

Choose a valid firewall backend (see --help)

I've also tried 

./configure --with-firewall=ipf --with-ipf=/usr/sbin/ipf

and 

./configure --with-firewall=ipf --with-ipf=/usr/sbin

and it still gives me the above error!


What do I do now?


Thanks for any help.
