so I'm sure this question has been asked ad nauseum and its even in the faq but that didn't help.

here is my problem:
configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"?

any solutions....?

You don't want the version of bpf.h that comes with libpcap; you want the version that comes with (the developer package on) Mac OS X. I believe it should be present; it is on my system, and based on the dates, I don't think I installed it myself.

What version of Mac OS X are you using?

Regards,

Justin
