 Description   

Mongosniff binds against libpcap but I can't find any references about this in documentation:

  1. ldd /usr/bin/mongosniff
    linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff66bff000)
    libmongoclient.so => not found
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f418d373000)
    libstdc+.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.4/libstdc+.so.6 (0x00007f418d05f000)
    libboost_system-mt-1_42.so.1.42.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt-1_42.so.1.42.0 (0x00007f418ce5b000)
    libpcap.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1 (0x00007f418cc22000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f418ca0b000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f418c6a5000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f418d590000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f418c424000)
    librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007f418c21b000)

Don't know the best place to add this (wiki, docs, ...) - so I leave that up to you

Thanks

okay glad that helped.

I didn't know that page existed which most likely was my problem - I was only lurking in the building sections. Thanks for making things clear.

I reworded that page slightly, please feel free to suggest another wording if you still don't think it's clear.

There actually is a note about libpcap on the mongosniff page:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/mongosniff

I'll see what I can do to make that more clear, though.
