I've installed libpcap 0.9.5 (from source) on my debian system and
done a 'make install' to setup libpcap.a. But I get the following
error when running ./configure for wireshark (0.99.5):

...
checking pcap.h usability... yes
checking pcap.h presence... yes
checking for pcap.h... yes
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap with -lcfg -lodm... no

What does the "config.log" file say about libpcap?
