Path Analyzer Pro

looking for a visual traceroute program on Linux I found Path Analyzer Pro

Path Analyzer can be downloaded for free evaluation and is available on Windows (XP, Vista and 2003 Server) and recently as Beta version for Linux (Debian and RedHat).

I downloaded the papro-2.6-5.i386.rpm and installed it on SLED11 SP2 (SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop).
After installation I wanted to run the program and got the following error:

# /usr/bin/papro
/usr/bin/papro: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I linked the newer libpcap to the required libpcap and the program started.

# ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8.1 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8
