Hi Eloy,

Thank you for such a quick reply and warm welcome!

I got your message, and I could build from my office laptop (T420 Windows
7) that has 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 that is installed fresh in VirtualBox.
I came home, and I checked out my home laptop (MacBook Pro) that is 64 bit
Ubuntu 12.04 that is upgraded constantly since 10.04 in VirtualBox.
What I found is that there is no libdumbnet-dev package available from
synaptic package installer or apt-get. I guess that it's Ubuntu64
repository issue.

One other thing while I was configuring; there were a couple of issues that
I need to manually edit the configure file from 0.20 version.

1. duplicated pcap directories : /usr/include and /usr/include/pcap
2. I installed tcl8.5; therefore I replaced all 8.4 with 8.5
3. I manually specified --with-tcl and --with-tcl-includes option to
configure

Anyway, I could make from my Windows VirtualBox (32 bits Ubuntu). I didn't
expect you were going to answer so quick. Thanks again, I really appreciate
that.

Have a nice weekend,
Sajang
