Seems that there are just some needed files on the trunk/lib directory
there. You'll need the Pcap extension (here:
http://www.goto.info.waseda.ac.jp/~fukusima/ruby/pcap-e.html and some
examples here: http://arstechnica.com/articles/columns/linux/linux-20051002.ars)
to run the main.rb file there. It just requires the dhcp.rb file and
seems to work.
