Thanks Jeff. I tried your suggestion but still no
luck:

             Build profile binaries : no
                   Use pcap library : yes
                   Use zlib library : yes
                   Use pcre library : no
               Use kerberos library : no
               Use GNU ADNS library : no
                Use SMI MIB library : no
             Use GNU crypto library : no
             Use SSL crypto library : no
           Use IPv6 name resolution : no
                 Use gnutls library : no
                 Use libcap library : no
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All the pcap stuff are either in /usr/local/lib OR in
/usr/local/include:

/usr/local/lib/libpcap.a
/usr/local/include/pcap-namedb.h
/usr/local/include/pcap-bpf.h
/usr/local/include/pcap.h
/usr/local/man/man3/pcap.3


Thanks,

Faraz
