I was trying working with ettercap today, and found out the only version 0.6.bp3 is in the ports tree. This version is described as deprecated on the ettercap webpage. I downloaded the most recent version (0.7.3) and tried to install it. When I run the configure script included in I get the following output:
$ ./configure --with-libpcap=/usr/src/lib/libpcap ... checking for libpcap... /usr/src/lib/libpcap checking for pcap_datalink_val_to_description in -lpcap... no configure: error: Incorrect libpcap version. libpcap >= 0.8.1 required I was told on the #openbsd irc channel that openbsd maintains its own versions of the libraries. Is this just due to an old library version, or am I missing something else? -- There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.
