Re: [ethereal-dev] AIX: gtk problem solved, now an ethereal problem

[Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Still have some more AIX problems. :)

I'm not sure what I did to get things to work last week, because
things are not working for me now. :(

I downloaded the latest libpcap snapshot from http://www.tcpdump.org
and compiled it.  I configured it to use bpf, with --with-pcap=bpf.

I have the following attached test program, which I compile
with xlc -g -DHAVE_SA_LEN int1.c

When I run it, the output is:

Opened lo0 with pcap_open_live, pch=0
Opened lo0 with pcap_open_live, pch=0
Opened lo0 with pcap_open_live, pch=0
Opened en0 with pcap_open_live, pch=0
Opened en0 with pcap_open_live, pch=0    

Now, if I run it through the debugger and step through things,
I notice the following.

Inside bpf_open(), in pcap-bpf.c, the following is called with device equal
to "/dev/bpf0", which exists in the /dev directory on my system.

fd = open(device, O_RDONLY); 

After this line, fd is set to 10, and errno is set to 0x4a, which is 
"No buffer space available"

This causes pcap_open_live() to fail.

I'm stumped....any ideas?
