There are patches to Net::Pcap that allow it to compile against libpcap-1.9.0, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1612860 https://bugs.gentoo.org/661726

Note, I'm not an Arch user, but I borrow enough patches from you for Gentoo things, that I figured I should return the favor ;)

What is a "clean chroot"? Right now, just after the following commands, I still get the "redefinition of" compilation errors:

git clone <https://aur.archlinux.org/perl-net-pcap.git>
cd perl-net-pcap
makepkg -sri

I had no problem compiling it in a clean chroot.

This doesn't compile now. It complains about redeclaring several structs.

Hi All,
I am getting a error similar to this. If put a command to execute a file which initiates the capturing of packets where the transmission of packets will be stored in a file named as pcap.


[root@localhost /]# ~/caliper/lib/gulp -i nf2c0 > 1.pcap
/root/caliper/lib/gulp: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Indeed there is an advanced version of libpcap.so.0.9.4 installed but still shows error on same place. I am stuck at this point for a long period.Help me to sort out this issue.

Many a Thanks.......

I'm getting the same issues as "dna" did about the pcap library not being installed. libpcap IS installed, and adding "LIB=/usr/lib/libpcap.so INC=/usr/include/" to the make line in the PKGBUILD did not help me. It's still complaining. :(

Failed to compile on my system. make complains about libpcap not installed. I double checked and libpcap was installed correctly.
lib at /usr/lib/libpcap.so and headers at /usr/include/

I had to set LIB and INC parameters to compile it :
make LIB=/usr/lib/libpcap.so INC=/usr/include/

The weird thing is that after successfully building the package and reversing the PKGBUILD, I was unable to reproduce the error. I guess something screwed up on my side.
So I post that anyway, maybe that will help someone :)
