"couldn't find pcap build or installation directory" #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have installed python-pyrex and libpcap-dev.
I have tried running "make" and "sudo python setup.py config".
I keep getting the following error while trying to install pypcap1.1:
"""
make
python setup.py config 
running config
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 101, in <module>
    ext_modules = [ pcap ])

I am trying to install pypcap1.1 using python 2.7.2 and Ubuntu 11.10.

For build instructions for Fedora see this github ticket: 
https://github.com/hgn/captcp/issues/3 . It will probably work on RedHat as 
well.

To resolve this on redhat if you are running on 64 bits its add lib64 to the 
list of libraries that are checked on setup.py.

for sd in ('lib', 'lib64',''):

You will also need to install libpcap-devel.
