[Iftop-users] Trying to compile iftop-0.15 -- problems

[Paul Warren]

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?
