AIX Open Source

Since upgrading from ncat-7.60-4.ppc to ncat-7.80-1.ppc, non-root users are unable to run it. We're using yum synced with your repo yesterday. This affects AIX6.1, 7.1 and 7.2

Error:
exec() : 0509-036 Cannot load program ncat_64 because of the following errors:
retld: 0712-001 Symbol pcap_create was referenced 
    from module ncat_64(), but a runtime definition
    of the symbol was not found.
Same errors repeated for pcat_set_snaplen, pcap_set_promisc, pcap_set_timeout, pcap_set_immediate_mode, pcap_activate
retld: 0712-002 fatal error: exiting.

It works fine when run as root.

Please ignore this. It was an LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting that was interfering with ncat finding the right libs
