the headers are there:

flapp:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/include/pcap
pcap-namedb.h  pcap.h
flapp:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/include/pcap*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3326 Mar 16 16:59 /usr/lib/include/pcap-namedb.h
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         7319 Mar 16 16:59 /usr/lib/include/pcap.h
flapp:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/include/net/bpf.h
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13586 Mar 16 16:59 /usr/lib/include/net/bpf.h

so there should be no problem, but even linking fails:
configure:3488: gcc -o conftest -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -Wno-un/usr/old-files/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 3477 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
    char pcap_open_live();

    int main() {
    pcap_open_live()
    ; return 0; }

And I don't know why, because pcap seems to be installed correctly..or what 
did i do wrong ?
