Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hello,

I am trying to run "sudo port install dsniff" command from terminal window and getting an error "Error: Processing of port dsniff failed". I am running at OS X El Capitan (10.11). I have attached the error message and log file content. Any help greatly appreciated.

Terminal console message:

Error: Failed to configure dsniff, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_net_dsniff/dsniff/work/dsniff-2.4/config.log

Please use WikiFormatting, don't forget to fill in the port name and maintainer email address, and use copy/paste for commands you typed and errors you received, so that you do not introduce typos (such as the auto-"corrected" dsniff -> sniff).

Any solution for this issue?

Resolution: worksforme
Status: newclosed

Doesn't happen for me on El Cap. My guess is that you don't have the command line tools installed, which come with db.h. If /usr/include/db.h doesn't exist on your system that is definitely the cause.

Please re-open if that's not the case.
