tcpdump: en0: no buffer space available

Ideas anyone?

Sorry, i can't help you since i haven't tried compiling tcpdump, however i was using it just yesterday, it comes with OS X. Is there a reason why you can't use the included copy? (maybe you didn't see it?)

what does it do?

what's the command to start?

tcpdump - dump traffic on a network. Its a packet sniffer (etherpeek etc). Check the manpages for more indepth info.

To run it, su to root and run /usr/sbin/tcpdump (or just tcpdump if its in your path...)
