I get:

/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h:295: error: previous declaration of ‘pcap_datalink_name_to_val’ was here

Looking in configure.log

 

configure:49170: checking for pcap_open_dead

Comparing with Ubuntu there is these additional flags

-L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64 -lpcap

 

I do have pcap.h

ls /usr/include/pcap

bpf.h  namedb.h  pcap.h  sll.h  usb.h
