Pretty straight forward... Install libpcap: # wget http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-1.2.1.tar.gz # tar -zxf libpcap-1.2.1.tar.gz && cd libpcap-1.2.1 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared && make && make install -J

PCAP 1.1.1 is available at the time of this writing and is recommended. So.. Yes. You'll need to download, compile, and install libpcap 1.0.0 or higher.

I am still running pcap 0.9.8 Can somebody confirm that I can't continue working with the old pcap version? Thanks, Maurizio Molina
