Hi,

Grep around in configure and read the notes regarding libpcap.
Basically you can supply a directory on the configure command line.

Thanx,

Hi All,

I am trying to use libpcap with wireshark. I have
compiled libpcap with a special API and it went OK. I
have libpcap in /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a and it is
included in my lib path in my .cshrc

setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"

but when I run configure why it says at the end that
 Use libcap library : no

Any help will be highly appreciated.
