(That was done on Linux, so you could probably have installed a binary 
package for libpcap and the corresponding developer package, if there's 
a separate developer package.  In fact, the binary package might already 
be installed, if, for example, you have a /usr/lib/libpcap.so file, in 
which case you should probably un-install libpcap 0.9.8 and install the 
distribution's developer package, unless you explicitly want to use 
0.9.8 built from source rather than what comes with the distribution.)

If you run "ranlib /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a", does that fix things?
