Dear all,

running configure on Mac OS X 10.2 results in

checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes
checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found
checking for net/bpf.h... no
configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"?

/usr/include/net/bpf.h is present on the system. Running configure
in the CVS version results in

checking whether to use libpcap for packet capture... yes
checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found
checking for net/bpf.h... yes
checking for pcap.h... yes
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... yes
checking whether pcap_version is defined by libpcap... yes

and building works without any problems.
I do not understand this since the distribution is build on the CVS version, 
isn't it?

Thank you very much for any hints.

Best regards
Michael
