-Q: It doesn't compile!

-A: Maybe u_int32_t and co. are not defined. Try uncommenting the line:
- #include <stdint.h> in src/arping.c. This has been an issue on
- MacOS X, I think. I don't have access to such a box so it's a bit hard
- to fix.

-A: Arping 2.x will not work with Libnet 1.0.x. This is This is due to
- libnet 1.1.x being completely different from 1.0.x. There is no
- real way to write code that works on both 1.0.x and 1.1.x.

- Since I wanted to do some other things a bit differently, I wrote
- arping 2.x. I recommend that you install Libnet 1.1.x so that you can
- run arping 2.x.

-Q: It doesn't compile, I get some error message about libnet and/or libpcap
+Q: ./configure says I need libnet and/or libpcap
A: Arping depends on libnet 1.1.x and libpcap, get libnet at:
http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet and libpcap from http://www.tcpdump.org.
Lately www.packetfactory.net seems to be down, so you can get the original
tarball from the Debian archives:
- http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libn/libnet/libnet_1.1.2.1.orig.tar.gz
+ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libn/libnet/libnet_1.1.4.orig.tar.gz
If that exact file doesn't exist there probably is one with a higher
version number.
