I am trying to install dsniff-devel on snow Leopard and I am getting the following:

MacPorts 1.8.2

I looked everywhere for a possible fix to no avail. Any recommendations as to how to proceed and finalize the installation would be greatly appreciated. Please CC me. Thanks....

There are many other occurrences of the error "'R_NEXT' undeclared" reported here, which I believe have all come down to having something conflicting installed in /usr/local, which is why our recommendation is to make sure you have nothing in /usr/local. Move or remove anything you have there, then clean the port (sudo port clean dsniff-devel) and try again.

Thanks for the help. I got it to work through some other means. I appreciate the comments...
