1. Saya menggunakan GNS-3, bisa juga menggunakan dynamips namun masih gagal di “emulate mode”

   masih ingat saya?
   saya dulu di Tim ILC 2002 Jogja

2. David, in following your instructions which are very helpful, thank you. I successfully get through all but the last couple of steps as shown below…. Any ideas????

3. Wisperwind,

   After getting libelf from ports as well, you need to create these additional links in order for the compiler to find them:

   $ sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/libelf /usr/include/libelf
   $ sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/libelf.h /usr/include/libelf.h

   After this & instructions from David, I ran the make without any problems.

4. Hello David,

   Thanks for your instructions. Getting through I had a little problem, could you help me?? Thanks!

   leonardo-pinzons-macbook:~ Leo$ sudo ln -s /opt/usr/local/libpcap.a /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a
   ln: /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a: No such file or directory

5. Hi, i found an error when i tryed to make the dyamips.

   Linking rom2c
   ld: library not found for -lelf
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
   make: *** [rom2c] Error 1

   any idea? i do not understand what kind of file of libelf is looking for..

   Regards,

6. Me again, i found the solution:

   Try this:

   sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libelf.a /usr/lib/libelf.a

   It works for me.

   Kindly Regards,

7. Thankyou for this page. Very helpful.

10. Hi, I did change in the MakeFile.
    http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-tickets/2009-October/044035.html

    I used the NOJIT option. Maybe there is a better way to handle this?
