I see you're using clang. Does it work if you use llvm-gcc-4.2 instead?

Thank you very much for your advice to use llvm-gcc-4.2.
After cleaning the failed build the program compiled fine using llvm-gcc-4.2.

sudo port -d clean --all bwm-ng 2>&1 |tee -a macports_bwm-ng_clean.log

sudo port -d install bwm-ng configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 2>&1 |tee -a macports_bwm-ng_install.log

port installed name:bwm-ng
The following ports are currently installed:
  bwm-ng @0.6_0 (active)

Please disregard my reply, this was meant for ticket ​32123, sorry for the mixup.

Unfortunately I was unable to build dsniff-devel using compiler llvm-gcc-4.2 or apple-gcc-4.2.
Please see the attached log files for their respective error messages.

• llvm-gcc-4.2 files: main_llvm-gcc-4.2.log and macports_dsniff-devel_llvm-gcc-4.2.log
• apple-gcc-4.2 files: main_apple-gcc-4.2.log and macports_dsniff-devel_apple-gcc-4.2.log

Don't you think the problem can caused by :

:info:archivefetch --->  dsniff-devel-2.4b1_5.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/software/dsniff-devel
:msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch dsniff-devel-2.4b1_5.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/dsniff-devel

The archive seems to have been downloaded, because it is present on my system.

$ ls -hl /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/dsniff-devel/dsniff-2.4b1.tar.gz 
-rw-r--r--  1 macports  admin   129K Nov 19 13:10 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/dsniff-devel/dsniff-2.4b1.tar.gz

I can redo the whole exercise again with all three compilers and upload the new log files if you want.

I will not be necessary because I have exactly the problem.

When I try a

./configure

I've got this error :

checking for libnet... no
configure: error: libnet not found

but

sudo port installed libnet11
The following ports are currently installed:
  libnet11 @1.1.5_0 (active)

Cc Me!

I'm seeing issues here, too.

I can't reproduce this.

Probably fixed by libnids being updated to 1.24; reopen if not.

Yes, thank you for the information, I was now able to compile dsniff using llvm-gcc-4.2.
