#32635 closed defect

libpcap can't be installed — at Version 2

Reported by: nil.bureau.bitbucket@… Owned by: cal@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.3
Keywords: Cc: opendarwin.org@…
Port: libpcap

Description (last modified by neverpanic (Clemens Lang))

Attempting to install libpcap via Terminal produces errors every time. Under Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5:

--->  Extracting libpcap
--->  Applying patches to libpcap
--->  Configuring libpcap
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for libpcap is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_net_libpcap/libpcap/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Per Ticket #12949, checked /usr/include/net for bpf.h file and it does not exist.

Downloading and installing manually does not produce any joy, as at least one file that should exist after installation is not there: libpcap.a.dylib (not libpcap.A.dylib).

How can this be fixed so libpcap can be installed via MacPorts?

Please remember to use WikiFormatting, don't set priority to high (as doing this is reserved for maintainers only) and Cc the maintainer. Please also read the ticket guidelines prominently linked from the "New Ticket" page. You don't need to Cc yourself either.

Reassigning to maintainer, but note it's up to the maintainer whether he supports PPC or not, but most maintainers are happy to apply patches fixing problems.
