Since there seems to be a problem to compile colortail successfully on BT4 (and probably other) here is a guide how to get it running.
If you are trying to compile colortail-0.3.0 on BT4 you will get the following error:
In file included from CfgFileParser.cc:20:
CfgFileParser.h:28:21: error: fstream.h: No such file or directory
So what you can do is to download the following patch:
Filename: colortail-0.3.0_psc.patch
MD5: fc2a1493fde95c4ac9c729ba748813f4
So here is the complete installation procedure:
wget 'http://joakimandersson.se/files/colortail-0.3.0.tar.gz'
tar xvfz colortail-0.3.0.tar.gz
patch -p0 < colortail-0.3.0_psc.patch
cd colortail-0.3.0
./configure
make
make check
make install
If you’re running dsniff and feed its output to colortail it looks like this with the appropriate configuration file:
