alexm,

Thanks again. I had wondered about whether the warnings were really critical or not, so thanks for that. I usually never sudo until the install step, and most of the time it is fine, except in this case I got the error:

touch: cannot touch `Pcap.bs': Permission denied

when running make, so that is why I used sudo. After that I just got somewhat paranoid that maybe not being root was causing some of my problems, and I just decided to sudo with everything figuring it couldn't hurt.

I took you suggestion to go ahead and run "make test" and I get the following:

It just hangs there. It looks like maybe it can't find my network device?
