Hi,

Sorry to dig up an ancient e-mail but I'm on the hunt to remove libnet0. :)

Yes, configure.in is looking for libnet_build_ip in /usr/lib/libnet.so 
(or whatever the lib is) (It does this in AC_CHECK_LIB(net, 
libnet_build_ip...).  What I did was change this to check for 
libnet_build_ipv4 instead.  Which passes this test.  (You can run 
objdump -T /usr/lib/libnet.so with the libnet1 libs installed to see 
what functions you could pick from).

It also then checks for libnet0 v 1.0.2 later in configure.in by 
grepping /usr/include/libnet.h which in itself is pathetic but just 
changing the grep line to check for 1.1 instead of 1.0.2a fixes that also.

Of course the package still doesn't build with libnet1 and needs much 
more work.  Is upstream still active on this package at all?  Looking at 
the sourceforge page it doesn't seem to be.


Thanks!
