IPFM is designed to work on every un*x system.
It was tested under Linux libc5 and libc6, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, IRIX, and should
work on AIX (please let us know if you tried other OSes)

Requirements
------------
* pcap library (ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z)
* yacc or equivalent (bison is used for development)
* lex or equivalent (lex is used for development)

Installation
------------
Installing the program is done with a standard:

	./configure (see ./configure --help for options)
	make
	make install

Here are the options used to build the Debian GNU/Linux package for example:

	./configure --prefix=/usr

Notes
-----
1. Local libpcap instalation
  If ipfm and libpcap are installed in the same directory, (DIR/ipfm* and
  DIR/libpcap*) ipfm will use this local pcap library (you don't need to
  install libpcap on your system if you don't want to).

2. pcap headers MUST be installed to compile
* If you install the pcap library on your system, do not forget to launch
  `make install-incl` in the pcap directory, or pcap header files won't be
  installed, and ipfm won't compile.

3. Exotic pcap.h places
  If your OS places the pcap header pcap.h in a strange directory (like
  RedHat does), please let us know at ipfm@via.ecp.fr, so we can add it in
  future versions.
  To make it compile before the new version is released, you have to change
  the file source/Makefile, and set the line "INCLS =" to
  INCLS = -I/directory/holding/pcap/header/

4. Is libpcap correctly installed ?
  If ipfm does not work on your system, try if tcpdump
  (ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/tcpdump.tar.Z) works to know if your libpcap is
  correctly installed.

5. You must be root...
  * to install ipfm packages (.rpm and .deb)
  * to run ipfm

For any questions, remarks, requests, you can join us at ipfm@via.ecp.fr
