However, they might have decided to allow a static version of libc: http://www.xinotes.net/notes/note/1025/ If that works, try looking for a libpcap-static package, but there might not be one.
Fedora has glibc-static, but no libpcap-static. _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
