Requirements: * >=automake-1.9 * >=libpcap-0.8 * flex and bison Strongly recommended: * zlib-dev (for reading and writing compressed traces) Optional: * DAG libraries (both 2.4 and 2.5 versions are supported) ---------------------------------- Installing libtrace: ./configure make make install The above series of commands will install libtrace into /usr/local/lib. If you wish to install to a non-standard location, append the --prefix=DIR option to the ./configure command. ./configure also takes a number of other options - run ./configure --help to view a comprehensive list. You may need to add the library location (e.g. /usr/local/lib) to your /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig' as root. ---------------------------------- Using libtrace: The best source of information on how to use libtrace and the tools that come with it is the libtrace wiki located at http://www.wand.net.nz/trac/libtrace/wiki
