Probably because it's also not trying to link "/usr/lib" - if you have the
security update or 10.3.3, you have a libpcap with all those routines.

Do you have *two* versions of libpcap installed - one in "/usr" (the one
that comes with OS X) and one in "/usr/local/{include,lib}"?  If so, you
want to make sure that the header files in "/usr/local/include" match the
headers in "/usr/local/lib" - i.e., if you copied the 0.8.1 headers to
"/usr/local/include", you'd better have 0.8.1's library installed in
"/usr/local/lib".
