I tried that first (sorry should have mentioned it) and when that
failed, I tried specifying. Also since posting I have tried the
following
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/"
--disable-ethereal --disable-editcap --disable-mergecap --with-zlib=/usr
--with-ssl=/usr --with-net-snmp=/usr
Same results.
On another system I installed the centos-4.3 libpcap rpm and looked at
the rpm -ql output to see what all is installed. The library and header
files look the same with one difference being that on centos it also
loaded copied the shared object library.
So I looked at the pcap Makfile and saw where I can install it as a
shared library as well (make install-shared).
Same result.
Next I looked at the PF_RING pcount Makefile as this would compile and
run. But it was using a relative path to the pcap library and header
instead and not the one installed via make install (although they are
the same file)
LIBPCAP=../libpcap-0.9.4/libpcap.a
LIBPFRING=../libpfring/libpfring.a
So I pointed LIBPCAP in that makefile to /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a and
recompiled. Pcount still works.
./pcount -i eth1
Capturing from eth1

I feel as if I am missing something obvious but I have now run out of
ideas on why I cannot get ethereal to build.
