You should realize that Van Jacobson wrote /that/ program for BSD Unix circa 1989 Since 1989, the standard headers have changed, and the locations of macros and function definitions are not what they were. You will have to make changes to VJ's code to make it work in a recent Linux system with recent GCC and headers. I've quickly looked at the above traceroute.c code, and noticed that VJ didn't include comments as to what he uses out of each header. If he had, then it would be possible to look through the current headers and locate the corresponding values. This way, you'd know which current Linux headers to include as substitutes for the old BSD header. But, since he didn't include comments, your detective work just got harder. I would suggest two approaches: 1) do some research to find out what netinet/ip_var.h defined, and/or 2) remove all the #includes, and see what the compile complains is missing - From either of those methods, you should be able to identify the functions, variables, and macros that the traceroute code uses from those obsolete headers. From there, you search the current headers to locate the equivalent values. Once you've identified the current headers, you modify the code to use them instead of the obsolete BSD headers it currently uses. Luck be with you HTH - -- Lew Pitcher -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) - WinPT 0.11.12 iD8DBQFFIlgbagVFX4UWr64RAqT/AJ9jTOH+nM2NKfJcyi3QsK5+yYGjAACeJKh4 YtrULpQXQ/F6OR0GxdNLBmQ= =IxQX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's probably about 80% the same, and just as instructive for learning how the program works. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***

Can you plz specify the link where I can get a copy of the source code for the Linux traceroute.

Linux comes with full source code, doesn't it? It should be in there. -- Barry Margolin, barmar(a)alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** |
