Hi Geyang,

I have not seen that problem.

But I can see that the problem is that the type u_int32_t is not defined.  This probably has to do with the version of Linux or the gnu compiler you are using.

The file libnet-headers.h, which is included before libnet-functions.h in libnet.h, contains the following line:

typedef uint32_t u_int32_t;

So the problem must be that the type uint32_t is not defined.

In a search of typedefs for uint32_t on my system I see that it is defined in several files, including /usr/include/stdint.h.

For some reason it is not being defined when you build libnet.  You could try adding:
#include <stdint.h>
before the line
#include <libnet.h>

in nmc_sys_defs.h

and see if that fixes the problem.

Mark

hi,

when I tried to compile the mcaR6-11/10, I met following errors:

Any suggestion?  thanks a lot. 
ps, I use ubuntu, libnet1 with apt-get install ,not from source compilation.

Best regards
