Same problem with me

[Arthur111]

This is because your openssl version is too recent. You have to compile it with 1.0.* here : https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.2/

This issue was already posted and closed ( https://github.com/ggreer/dsniff/issues/13 )

There is another problem with macOS 10.15

It must be linked with glib and gthread, this means add LDFLAGS='-lglib-2.0 -lgthread-2.0' in the ./configure command.

you can download Glib and gthread here : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib

concerning Berkley db you can download it here : http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/8.2/server/db.html
