Requirements: * >=automake-1.9 * >=libpcap-0.8 Installing libtrace: ./configure make You may need to add the line '/usr/local/lib' to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig' as root. ---------------------------------- Using libtrace: There are a number of example programs which should cover the basics of what you need within libtrace-x.y.z/examples/. ---------------------------------- Large trace files: The versions of libpcap that ship with Debian Woody don't support large file offsets. To get around this, you have a number of options: * Don't use compressed files. * Use stdin as the target of the input uri, and use cat or zcat to pipe the file into stdin, eg: zcat largetrace.pcap.gz | program -i pcap:- * Use process substitution in place of a filename, eg: program -i pcap:<(zcat largetrace.pcap.gz)
