| Hello,
I am trying to install tcpdump and libpcap but am a bit of a novice any
linux. Basically these programs are for packet sniffing available from
www.tcpdump.org. I do not think my problem however is specific to these
programs, but specific to installing any program, I may be wrong. Basically
my understanding is that you need to install libpcap first and then tcpdump.
The install readme says:-
"To build libpcap, run "./configure" (a shell script). The configure script
will determine your system attributes and generate an appropriate Makefile
from Makefile.in. Next run "make". If everything goes well you can su to
root and run "make install"."
What I have done is logged on as root, and changed directory to the where I
extracted the libpcap files. I then typed at the prompt "./configure". The
message that then comes up on screen says:-
"loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $path"
I think maybe I have missed a parameter out when I typed "./configure"
Can someone please help me on this
Thanks
Bob
