Ettercap-ng 0.7.3 problems

Hi people, i have some problems using this sniffing tool. In fact when i scan for host it closes with a segmentation fault so i tryed to recompile it with the flag --enable-debug but it give me the following errors and no compile.

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

    Aborting...

Someone have an idea of what can i do? ^^

Thanks, Riccardo.

Re: Ettercap-ng 0.7.3 problems

Hmmm - guess you have to edit the source code ...

'long long' is 64 bits both in i686 and x86_64
'long' is 32 bits in i686 and 64 bits in x86_64
int/uint is 32 bits in both cases

[edit] I'm surprised they appear as an error rather than a warning, but as it will affect how values are popped off a stack, I guess an 'error' is in place ...

Re: Ettercap-ng 0.7.3 problems

I also had same segmentation fault error with ettercap. I found patch in getnoo ebuild, so I patched ettercap source, since then I managed to compile ettercap without error.

ettercap-0.7.3-as-needed.patch

Please, notice me if it works for you so I can put it in AUR (for now, it only works for me).

For me it worked too, but with another patch I found on
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258382

    }

So I changed the content of the existing patch file to get this to work.
Also I had to change the source for the package to be downloaded from
sourceforge. My PKGBUILD looks like this and for me it works fine.
