Description Tom Henderson 2013-03-25 12:16:48 UTC

Building ccnx on a machine without libpcap-dev (pcap.h) will cause a failure that does not hint at the underlying dependency problem.

 >> Building ccnx - Problem
    > Subprocess failed with error 2: ['make', '-j' -'1' ...]

Solution probably involves putting configuration check for the header pcap.h and prompting the user to install libpcap-dev or libpcap-devel if missing.
