Good Afternoon,

I was looking for a product that did arp monitoring and notification of
rogue arp addresses and found your product through a Google search. It
looks to do exactly what I'm looking for and am excited to try it out.

I found an English install document on the arpalert.org site and am having a
bit of trouble with the install and was hoping you could give some
guidance. I have downloaded and verified the MD5 for
'arpalert-2.0.11.tar.gz'. I have extracted the file then ran the following
command, with root permissions, per the install instructions:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/arpalert && make && make install

I get the following output when it finishes:

I then run the following:
/usr/local/arpalert/sbin/arpalert -d
and get an error:
-bash: /usr/local/arpalert/sbin/arpalert No such file or directory

I'm running the command from a terminal window, but from inside the GUI.
I'm fairly new to Linux, so I need the GUI as a crutch from time to time.

When I look inside the arpalert-2.0.11 folder that is on my desktop I see
@dir_name@ directories inside of the base areaplert-2.0.11 folder with root
privileges. I'm thinking that I have extracted the original tar file to the
wrong place, or that I am missing a set in the install process.

Again I'm pretty new to Linux, so this might be something really obvious to
the veteran, but an oversight for my novice skill set.

Any suggestions or directions for the install process would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Kevin
