installing tcpdump 3.9.8

[sabinkarvijay]

Before installing tcpdump 3.9.8 we need to install libpcap but while installing i am getting the below error:

scotland:/tmp/libpcap/libpcap-0.9.5->./configure

Please check the above error and do the needful

Thanks in Advance,

Looks like you don't have a compiler for this, why not using this:

Hi,

After installing the same software depot which you mentioned, I am getting the below error while running tcpdump:-

scotland:/tmp/tcpdump->/usr/local/sbin/tcpdump
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on lan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 68 bytes

0 packets captured
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

Is there any dependency with openssl?

Please let me know what can be done in this case?

All dependencies are listed on the download page.

Thanks Torsten,

Is each and every dependent software need to be installed before proceeding installation of tcpdump?

Since you installed it without the dependent software, probably not. But you need those before you try to run it.

(You could install them all at once by using swcopy to copy them to a big depot.)

Thanks all...

Now I have installed tcpdump successfully...
