I changed the line, and here is what I get back:

Failed to open lo0 with pcap_open_live(), pch is NULL
Failed to open lo0 with pcap_open_live(), pch is NULL
Failed to open lo0 with pcap_open_live(), pch is NULL
Failed to open en0 with pcap_open_live(), pch is NULL
Failed to open en0 with pcap_open_live(), pch is NULL

Just for kicks, just after running this program,
I tried running AIX's tcpdump:

# tcpdump
tcpdump: BIOCSETIF: en0: Do not specify an existing file. 

As a non-root user, I tried it and got:
~% tcpdump
tcpdump: error loading /usr/lib/drivers/bpf

Hmmmm....any ideas?
