Trickle bandwidth shaper

[Ralph Seichter]

Hello list,

as I could not find a MacPorts version of Marius Eriksen's "trickle"
(see http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle), I tried to build
Trickle 1.06 on OS X 10.6.8 myself. After installing the libevent 2.0.10
port and running configure, the build fails with the following messages:

$ make

I was wondering if you could either give me hint on how to circumvent
this problem, or, even better, if there is a MacPorts port of trickle
wich I have so far missed? The ports search returned zip, though...
