Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [ethereal-dev] Ethereal on SGI

[Dan Debertin <danield@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've actually run into this problem on Linux as well. If you've compiled
and installed libpcap (do so if you haven't), libpcap's make install may
not have put it in /usr/include/net -- I think it wants to put it in
/usr/local somewhere; use a find to figure out where. Once libpcap is
installed, figure out where it stuck bpf.h and copy/move it to
/usr/include/net, and configure will run. Otherwise, you could build
without libpcap support -- I don't know anything about that, though.

Good luck
