iftop 1.0 release?
by Jonathan Abbey 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Since it seems like iftop development has plateaued, what do folks think about declaring an official 1.0 release? Iftop is too massively useful to see it linger in the pre-release doldrums forever, I say.

I believe you can do 'nm' on /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so to see what symbols that shared library is exporting, but that won't fix anything, it'll just give you confirmation that a function or global variable that you depend on isn't being exported from the library. I ran ldd on my copy of iftop which I built from sources, and it doesn't even use libpcap as a shared library. I think it might have got treated as a static library at link time, so I can't really give you any good advice as to what the libpcap.so library should be exporting in the way of symbols. Building from source isn't that hard, I'd recommend that, really, if you have access to a compiler and such on your system.

iftop error on Solaris 8 SPARC

Good day, I have a problem getting IFTOP to run on Solaris 8 SPARC. Could someone please give me some advice? I have just downloaded libpcap, ncurses and iftop from www.sunfreeware.com <http://www.sunfreeware.com/> (required compatible versions as metioned by the website), but get the following error whenever I want to run iftop: bash-2.03# /usr/local/sbin/iftop interface: eri0 IP address is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (hidden purposefully) MAC address is: 00:03:ba:0d:bf:fb ld.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/iftop: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/sbin/iftop: symbol pcap_open_live: referenced symbol not found Killed Anyone know what causes this perhaps?
