Re: config.guess and config.sub script error for libpcap

[Rubenangel Vitale Rincon]

HI there,

It's me again :) I realised after reviewing the onion web page. They are using linux OpenWRT and it has 'opkg' package manager. So I just used it and update its repo to instal tcpdump.

Thanks a lot anyway.

Hi there,

I tried to install libpcap for then install tcpdump on the new onion omega device but I could not due the errors below for the scripts config.guess and config.sub after run ./configure

More info about the onion omega project can be found in their web page https://onion.io/omega/

Please let me know if there is any other relevant information I can provide you to add this linux to be recognised by the script.

Thanks a lot for your great work and help in advance.

================= console output =================

address@hidden:/mnt/libpcap-1.7.4# ./configure

This script, last modified 2015-10-21, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <address@hidden> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.
