The sources from www.tcpdump.org don't have rpc2 in them, it seems. This appears to be the heir-apparent of the 'current' distribution of tcpdump. The maintainer (mcr_at_sandelman.ottawa.on.ca) seems willing to take patches.

I am trying to build coda for the first time since the lwp split. I built and installed lwp with --prefix=/usr/local/coda with no problems.
When I ./configure'd coda with the same prefix, it didn't find lwp. This is really an autoconf issue, but IMHO when a package needs another package, a user who wants them both in the same oddball prefix shouldn't need to do special work. I see that there are --with-lwp-includes and --with-lwp-dir options, but it would be cool if the configure script found it in $(prefix)/{include,lib}.

I think this just needs a small change to coda_macros.m4 in CODA_FIND_LIBWLP, adding $(prefix) to the search path, and adding modifications to CFLAGS as well. Well, this patch seems to work for me. I think it isn't right; the path found was /usr, but that's because the -I/-L args are already present in CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, which is really what has to work out. Thus, I'm not sure why it didn't work earlier.
I'm not 100% certain of this, but I did
do a build after a gmake distclean.

As an aside, I'd vote for removing configure from cvs, and adding a bootstrap.sh. People already need autoconf/automake installed for building lwp from cvs, and while automake/libtool might be a bit much, autoconf is getting to be normal enough these days (IMHO, of course).

(all this was on freebsd-3.3+kame/i386)
