Try this:

Before building the port (if you're starting from scratch), run:

Code:

# cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/ettercap
# make fetch
# make extract

In the file "/usr/ports/net-mgmt/ettercap/work/ettercap-NG-0.7.3/src/protocols/ec_tcp.c"
on line 119, change the following line from:

Code:

opt_end = (u_char *)((int)tcp + tcp->off * 4);

To:

Code:

opt_end = (u_char *)(tcp + tcp->off * 4);

...using your favorite text editor.

Then, run the typical:

Code:

# make config
# make build
# make install

After all of that, give the program a run or two, and see if it's working.

Let us all know.
