let's try again:

[root@host html]# ./masscan

@robertdavidgraham what else do we need to do? is it possible to compile masscan statically w/ all libraries in it as it used to be?

ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1 /usr/lib64/libpcap.so

yum install libpcap-devel worked for me

on padavan, I've already do opkg install libpcap.

# ll /opt/lib/libpcap*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root            12 Sep  5 22:50 /opt/lib/libpcap.so -> libpcap.so.1

Segmentation fault

I've tried ln -s /opt/lib/libpcap.so.1.10.1 /opt/usr/lib/libpcap.so but no use.

@lfaoro May I ask if there is any solution? Since this issue was closed

[lfaoro]

I closed it because the author didn't assist us for over 6 months, hence I assume there's no interest in solving this.
