Hi All,

I am trying to use libpcap with wireshark. I have
compiled libpcap with a special API and it went OK. I
have libpcap in /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a and it is
included in my lib path in my .cshrc

setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"
but when I run configure why it says at the end that 
 Use libcap library : no

Any help will be highly appreciated.


Try:

./configure --with-pcap=/usr/local
(You also need to put the libpcap header files in /usr/local for that to work...)
