detects that the native compiler is being used on HP-UX; however, the
configure scripts for GTK+ and GLib don't do so, which means that 64-bit

can read nettl files containing raw IP frames (NS_LS_IP, NS_LS_TCP,
NS_LS_UDP, NS_LS_ICMP subsystems), all ethernet/tokenring/fddi driver
level frames (such as BTLAN, BASE100, GELAN, IGELAN subsystems) and LAPB

libpcap; binary distributions are, as noted above, available from the
Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX, as well as source code.

+Note that packet-capture programs such as Wireshark/TShark or tcpdump
may, on HP-UX, not be able to see packets sent from the machine on which
they're running. Make sure you have a recent "LAN Cummulative/DLPI" patch
installed.
