Hey all, I’ve updated my ruby, and header files are where they should be (thanks to all who replied). But now my problem is that of libraries. I have installed pcap and ruby-libnet (at least I hope it installed) by typing: ruby extconf.rb make Then, to complete my set, I installed rubyforger using the same method as described above. The directions say that i require it by typing require ‘rubyforger.rb’ in the top of my code. However, Ruby cannot find it unless I’m in the same directory as the rubyforger libraries. Huh? Pcap problem: Whenever I require pcap, i get a warning saying: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.9.0/pcap.bundle: warning: do not use Fixnums as Symbols /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.9.0/pcap.bundle: warning: do not use Fixnums as Symbols /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.9.0/pcap.bundle: warning: do not use Fixnums as Symbols Did i just download a bad bundle? Ok, now part 2 Can anyone recommend a good library that allows for packet creation and editing? With instructions on how to install it (please)?

Yet I STILL get this problem. re download and try again? --------------------------------------------| If you’re not living on the edge, then you’re just wasting space. ---

After looking back to the readme, is see that I need to “Use the init function in order to set up the correct interface.” So, uh… What does that mean, exactly? ---------------------------------------------------------------| ~Ari “I don’t suffer from insanity.

The init function is a built in function which allows you to send the packets. Unfortunately, though, I cannot get it to load, though. --------------------------------------------| If you’re not living on the edge, then you’re just wasting space. ---
