Im currently Running RH Linux 9.0 and after I run the "./configure && make install" it gets
to a point and then give me this:

checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
configure: error: cannot find pcap_open_live in libpcap. Read the INSTALL file.

I saw this error on a Mandrake 10.0 thread but that didnt help me any. So maybie there is a
way to fix it or something on Redhat linux.

Please help me...
Thanks.

There's probably a pcap-devel package or something.

Are you really doing "./configure && make install" ? or are you doing "./configure && make && make install" cause they are different things.

Also rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net/) is a good place to find library for install, there is also the CDs you installed RH9 with, it should be on one of them.

If you are running Redhat 9, all the RPM's you need should be available on the Red Hat 9 CDROM's. To make sure you have all the required dependencies installed you can download my dependency checking script checkdeps.sh (http://www.doomed.to/showeq/checkdeps.sh) from my website (http://www.doomed.to/showeq/). Then:

$ chmod u+x ./checkdeps.sh
$ ./checkdeps.sh

and see what the output says...

Enjoy,
