Description jau 2006-07-07 05:10:23 UTC

When you have the ports version of pcap installed in addition to the system
default pcap configuring yersinia fails and thus the whole install/upgrade.

After launching make in /usr/ports/security/yersinia you see this...

Stop in /usr/ports/security/yersinia.

Fix:

None known yet.
How-To-Repeat: Make sure you have both system default libpcap and the ports version installed
and run make in /usr/ports/security/yersinia.

Well, this appears to be a typical case of "works as designed" to
me ...

The configure script explicitly checks for this situation and in
case headers (and thus libraries) are found in multiple locations,
emits a warning, that you can't expect the build to succeed. This
is not specific behavior of the port, but of the configure file
distributed with yersinia for all supported platforms.

You could temporarily hide the pcap header and library (either
system or port version, but consistently) and then build the port,
or just install yersinia from a package.

You could also contact the yersinia developers, or develop a patch
to configure, that does the right thing (TM). If it is specific to
FreeBSD, I could add it to the port, but I'd definitely prefer if
you submitted it to the yersinia developers for inclusion in the
next release ...

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

While the configure script had probably been extended to prevent  
building on systems with multiple pcap libraries, which can cause 
hard to diagnose crashes, this problem seems to be a non-issue on 
FreeBSD. For that reason I have left the check and warning message 
enabled in configure, but have disabled the exit command (and thus 
converted the fatal error to a mere warning ...) 

This should not cause any problems under FreeBSD, and without this 
hack, the port would not build on FreeBSD-4.x systems. 

Thanks for bringing this issue up!
