I have got knoppix installed in my system.the package manager shows that libpcap is already installed .But when i write a program using that i get errors saying pcap.h not found.when i try searching for the file i dont find anything apart from libpcap.s0.8 and libpcap.s0.8.3 .
(Presumably by ".s0" you mean ".so", or mean ".so.0".)
could anyone help me out.Is libpcap already installed and compiled or do i have to download the package and install it again.
You might have to install a "developer's package" for libpcap. Many Linux distributions have separate "user's" and "developer's" packages for libpcap. The user's package installs just the shared library, so that programs already built with a libpcap shared library will run; the developer's package installs header files (and perhaps an archive library), for use when compiling programs that use libpcap.
I don't know whether that's true of Knoppix, or, if it is, what the developer's package of libpcap is called.
