...but you're not trying to build with either of them and, in fact, the tcpdump configure script found what is presumably the recent libpcap that you'd already built: configure:7132: checking for local pcap library configure:7374: result: ./../libpcap/libpcap.a However, there's something wrong with that libpcap: configure:7526: gcc -o conftest -DINET6 -g -O2 conftest.c ./../libpcap/libpcap.a -ldnet >&5 ./../libpcap/libpcap.a(gencode.o): In function `pcap_compile': /home/jsdean/libpcap/./gencode.c:451: undefined reference to `pcap_parse' Could you show us the build log for the current libpcap? (The one that's presumably in ~/libpcap.)- This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
