    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
   11: build a version of iftop which uses the ARES asynchronous DNS library for name
   12: resolution. An alternative is to use --with-resolver=netdb_1thread, which will
   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.
