        !             4: 
        !             5: iftop is now autoconf/automake-enabled. You should be able to build it on
        !             6: common platforms by typing `./configure && make'.
        !             7: 
        !             8: There is one gotcha, however, which is that some systems, such as FreeBSD,
        !             9: lack a working implementation of the gethostbyaddr_r(3) C library function. On
        !            10: such systems, you may want to use the --with-resolver=ares configure option to

        !            13: make iftop run only one name resolution thread. This is not recommended.
        !            14: 
        !            15: On some systems (notably Red Hat Linux) the libpcap header files are installed
        !            16: under /usr/include/pcap; on these systems, you should manually specify this
        !            17: when running configure, like this:
        !            18: 
        !            19:     $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/pcap ./configure
        !            20: 
        !            21: 
        !            22: For historical interest, the old iftop makefile is included in Makefile.OLD.
