This is probably the entirely wrong place to pose this question, but I'm not
sure where to ask it so I'm going to go ahead and ask it here:
I am trying to learn how to use pcap, so I wrote this very simple program so I
can start testing the waters:
/* Testing out pcap */
#include <pcap.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
char *device,*errbuff;
if (device = pcap_lookupdev(errbuff))
printf("Device: %s\n",device);
else
printf("Error: %s\n",errbuff);
return 0;
}
I compile it with the following command:
cc -lpcap test.c
And run it with the following command:
./a.out
And I get this error:
ld.so failed: Undefined symbol "_fddipad" in a.out:/usr/lib/libpcap.so.2.0
What the heck am I missing? And where should I go for more information?
Thank you for your time and patience.
