Hello,
I downloaded libpcap-0.7.1 from www.tcpdump.org

For this I did 
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/<somedir> --mandir=/phys/<anotherdir>
# make
# make install

without issues

Then I used ethereal-0.9.5 from www.ethereal.com to do

# ./configure --prefix=/phys/tools/ethereal-0.9.5
--includedir=/opt/<somedir>/include

which complained about a not found net/bpf.h


After I added 

CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$includedir"

to configure scipt (just before configure does the check for the
net/bpf.h)
all the usual configure,make,make install worked just fine.

Since I am not an automake/configure expert I'm quite sure this
is not "really" correct way to fix the problem - but anyway ... :-)
Somebody with better knowledge maybe should consider this issue
in future versions ?

This is on solaris 2.6.

Best regards,
Harald
