libpcap unfortunately has both a 'make install' step, as well
as 'make install-incl' step to install the header files. Be sure to run
both.

Both the 'install' and 'install-incl' steps honor the --prefix option
passed to the ./configure step. So, "./configure --prefix=/usr"
should install the files properly to /usr/include/net/ and
/usr/lib.  --prefix defaults to /usr/local
