Somehow this managed to go out without the update.
I found the problem. There was an old version of pcap.h in
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.0.sdk/usr/include
that somehow was being used before the ones in /usr/include or
/usr/local/include

Once I got rid of that the build finished successfully.


Thanks again for all the good work.
