sniffit

Hi ALL

For epistemic reasons only, I am trying to install sniffit on my RH 7.1.
It's not going to well, as you can see from the error log below. I
downloaded the file from
<http://reptile.rug.ac.be/~coder/sniffit/sniffit.html>. I also added the
associated patch. I then did "./configure"; then "make". Upon "make", I
received error messages. If anyone could offer some suggestions, I would
appreciate it. (PS--My network is a *home* network, so any packets I read
will be my own. :-)).

I tried to continue after the errors with "make install-sh" and "./make
install-sh" but the former returns a message "nothing to be done for
install-sh". Has anyone ever worked with this program?

By the way, what is the best way to send error messages to a log file when
using make? Thanks a lot!
