Argus on Bivio 7500

[Jason Carr]

Hi Eric,

We also had the same problem compiling the 3.x series on our Bivio  
units.  Bivio ships (even with the newest OS 5.0.5) with an older  
libpcap.  We were told that the new libpcap that implements the  
pcap_get_selectable_fd method is in beta and should be released with  
the next OS release.

Right now we're running argus 2.x and running rastream 3.x on a non- 
Bivio machine.  The 2.x series compiles just fine (but no IPv6).

This was before Carter implemented any sort of Bivio changes, so I  
have not tested those.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I'm also interested in what  
else you might be using your Bivio for.

- Jason
