The fix has been commited as SVN #24416.

See
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py?view=rev&revision=24416

for the changes. (Yon can download the updated sources for the two 
programs or you can apply the changes to your local source).

Two notes:

1. Due to a screwup on my part the log text is incorrect (long story).
   The SVN 24416 log text "Fix typo in help text" should have been
   "Fix compile errors if 'configure ... --without-pcap'"

2. There's still a problem compiling the separate program rawshark
   without pcap. You'll need to use
   'configure ... --disable-rawshark ...' until this gets fixed.


(Gerald: Any chance the log comment can be corrected ??)
