1 In many operating systems tcpdump is available as a native package or port, 2 which simplifies installation of updates and long-term maintenance. However, 3 the native packages are sometimes a few versions behind and to try a more 4 recent snapshot it will take to compile tcpdump from the source code. 5 6 tcpdump compiles and works on at least the following platforms: 7 8 * AIX 9 * FreeBSD 10 * HP-UX 11i 11 * Linux (any) with glibc (usually just works) 12 * Linux (any) with musl libc (sometimes fails to compile, please report any bugs) 13 * Mac OS X / macOS 14 * NetBSD 15 * OpenWrt 16 * Solaris 17
