Hi,
I had posted fixes for these problems on July 1 to this list,
and included changes to RPM "spec" files, so that one may build
RPM package for clients, for example.  I chose to use prefix=/usr,
but note that there are some problems getting the project's Makefiles
to use that value. So, you might have better success defining prefix
to be the traditional /usr/local.

I was using FC2 at the time, but apparently I didn't make that point clear.
I believe the changes I've supplied will work with RedHat 8/9 as well,
but have not tried them there.

At July 1, I wasn't aware of the location+name change of net/bpf.h to pcap-bpf.h.
Having the sources for clients available, I just copied include/net/bpf.h
to the argus-2.0.6-fixes.1/include/net, and that allowed the build to succeed.

Besides Steve's recent FAQ changes, are there any other patches
which can be applied to the argus-2.0.6-fixes.1 or argus-clients-2.0.6-fixes.1
source tarballs to bring a user's source into agreement with
current developments ?

Thanks!
