I had already diagnosed the error.  But here goes:

   # cd /opt/metasploit-framework/external/pcaprub
   bash: cd: /opt/metasploit-framework/external/pcaprub:
   No such file or directory

   # ruby extconf.rb && sudo make && sudo make install
   ruby: No such file or directory -- extconf.rb (LoadError)

Me too.  Sometimes though I am broken down and have to ask for help.
Just Google It -- the new RTFM.  I love the looks on customer's
faces when I research a problem and fix it right in fron of their
faces.  Their remark is usually yhay they could have never done that
themselves in a 100 years.  They shake their heads a lot.

I wonder if Dark Operator would react badly if I eMailed him

get most everythng going, as you said, with google. A few
questions too.  This was my last hurdle.
