Issue loading Ostinato on Suse Enterprise Linux Server (SELS)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  On a SELS system, just tried to install Ostinato (using the OpenSuse 11.3 
installer since that's what SELS is based from).
2.  Installation starts to work - then gets a "libpcap.so.1 library not 
available" error.
3.  Basically at this point - you have to cancel the install.

I was trying the OpenSuse 11.3 Ostinato 0.3 install.  I successfully installed 
this on a OpenSuse system, but OpenSuse didn't support my network card so I had 
to go to SELS.

If this is just a "stupid" issue (like installing the libpcap.so.1 library is a 
no-brainer), then my apologies - but I have limited Linux experience.

I originally was just going to go with the WIndows version - but frame 
throughput on that setup seems pretty low and I expect a Linux install would be 
much faster and reliable.

I'm going to research doing an Ostinato build on the SELS linux, but 
considering my lack of Linux experience I'll probably run into major roadblocks.

Any advise is greatly appreciated (very useful program!!!!)

NOTE:  IF there is already a SELS Ostinato build / installer somewhere - sorry 
I couldn't find it but please advise the location.

Regards, 
Werner

Ok - it really was as simple as "download the libraries" (it also required 
libprotobuf.so.6 too).  In any case - Ostinato seems to be working just fine 
under SLES!  My only other issue was I keep forgetting to start DRONE (and also 
hit "apply" when creating a new stream).  Once I did that - it works fine!

MANY MANY THANKS - and appreciate your efforts!  

Sorry about this stupid defect - please erase (or close as you desire).

Glad that you could make it work after installing the missing libraries.

Ostinato should automatically start Drone at startup if they are present in the 
same directory.

I plan to have a timer based "auto apply". Please raise a request for the same 
so that it can be tracked.
