Title: Ethereal/libpcap missing library function pcap_findalldevs

I can't capture with Ethereal; it crashes with the error that it can't locate the library function pcap_findalldevs

I am running on Fedora Core 2.6.10-1.9_FC2
I have installed ethereal-base-no-snmp-0.10.0a-1.RH9.i386 (from rpm)
I have installed ethereal-gtk+-no-snmp-0.10.0a-1.RH9.i386 (from rpm)
I have compiled and installed libpcap-0.6.2.

I have tried installing newer versions of libpcap (forcing the install) to no avail.

I don't understand why the ethereal install from rpm can depend on libpcap-0.6.2, and then have this error when I install the correct library version.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
