hi Spencer=20

looks like a solaris installation. but libpcap in
/opt/sfw/bin - definitivly not=20
it's placed in the lib-directory=20
i use the compiler flags, which work fine for me
export CPPFLAGS=3D'-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/sfw/include
-I/opt/sfw/include'
export LDFLAGS=3D'-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/opt/sfw/lib'=20
export CC=3Dgcc

using this you don't need the --with-libpcap token

best regards=20
