Can you show us the pcap_pkthdr in your pcap.h (/usr/include/pcap.h ???)

Mine is:

struct pcap_pkthdr {
        struct timeval ts;      /* time stamp */
        bpf_u_int32 caplen;     /* length of portion present */
        bpf_u_int32 len;        /* length this packet (off wire) */
};

The wtap_pkthdr struct (in our wiretap library) is:

struct wtap_pkthdr {
        struct timeval ts;
        guint32 caplen;
        guint32 len;
        int pkt_encap;
        union pseudo_header pseudo_header;
};

Line 856 in capture.c, BTW, is:

     whdr.ts = phdr->ts;

Where,
	const struct pcap_pkthdr *phdr;
	struct wtap_pkthdr whdr;
