I hope someone can help me out here. I am not a C coder but occasionally compile things in the Unix [aix, solaris, linux] environment. I am currently attempting to compile iftop and have run into many problem. I have installed libpcap and ncurses to get past my first two problems. I applied the patch referenced here http://lists.beasts.org/pipermail/iftop-users/2003-November/000074.html for POSIX threads. I am now stumped though. Here is the error that I am getting when trying to compile:

Hi Teressa,
Sorry for the lack of reply on this one. You should be able to work around this problem by replacing every occurence of "u_int32_t" with "unsigned int".
I'm not sure what the "correct" solution to this problem. Does anyone know if it's possible to get autoconf to do something useful here?

It should already be doing so -- there's complicated logic to define the various types. I don't know why it isn't working in this case, though.

On this system, the types are defined in sys/types.h, and presumably autoconf is supposed to make them up in the event that they're not defined there on a given system.
Perhaps upgrading autoconf might help?

The autoconf scripts sets some macros which are tested by integers.h. The problem is that, until C99, there were no standard fixed-width integer types, so the script and header file try between them to figure out what combination of types works. It assumes that if <stdint.h> exists, it contains the proper C99 uint<n>_t types, and similarly for <sys/inttypes.h>, which on Solaris seems to contain the same definitions.
I don't think that autoconf has functionality to do this itself, sadly.

What does
grep uint8_t /usr/include/sys/inttypes.h
give?
