When I compiled the code of beats, it reported an error like this: ok [github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/outputs/mode/lb](http://github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/outputs/mode/lb) 1.190s coverage: 84.1% of statements ?

The default `make` command is also executing the tests. If you just want to compile one Beat, you can execute `make` or `go build` in the Beat directory. If you're interested in running the tests, please review the CONTRIBUTING guide for a set of dependencies that you have to install. ---

When I went into the folder packerbeat and run the command make, reported no such file error: [root@drill3 beats]# cd packetbeat/ [root@drill3 packetbeat]# make go build [github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/github.com/tsg/gopacket/pcap](http://github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/github.com/tsg/gopacket/pcap) ../vendor/github.com/tsg/gopacket/pcap/pcap.go:20:18: fatal error: pcap.h: No such file or directory #include \ ^ compilation terminated. make: \*\*\* [packetbeat] Error 2 ====================================================== Solved by install libpcap-devel ---
