I seems to be going through the install just fine and it's finding all the libraries, but I was just hit with an error and can't figure out what to do next. This is what I get:

Checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
configure: error: connot find pcap_open_liive in libpcap.

Is this something I forget to install? I did install the libpcap0-0.6.2-3mdk.i586.rpm that came with mandrake but it still didn't compile. Anyone have any suggestions? This seems to be my only hang up and I can see that light... I hope!

You need the libpcapdevel package. Its on the mandrake CD's somewhere.

Woot! Thanks... I'll try it when I get home tonight. Any other reasons why Mandrake 8.2 might not work? Thanks again!

Well, qt seemed to install well and didn't choke about anything, but when I went back to my /root/showeq directory and ran this:

# ./configure && make && make install

This is what I got:

Collect 2: ld returned 1 exit status
Make[2] *** [showeq] error 1
Make[2] Leaving directory '/root/showeq/sec'
Make[1] *** [all-recursive] error 1
Make[1] Leaving directory '/root/showeq'
Make: ** [all-recursive-am] error 2
#

What's going on here? I've followed the directions completely and I have no idea what this error is talking about. Thinking that maybe it might still work dispite these errors, and looked in /usr/local/share/showeq/ but there wasn't one. It only went down to /usr/local/share and nothing else. Any chance anyone has an idea on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again!

You didnt actually post an error message here, just the trace of make exiting back out. Please post the whole error.
