-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       120470 Aug 17 13:24 libpcap.a

and with:
./configure --with-libpcap-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib

I still get that error
is this a bug or am I missing something?

I have snort 1.7 and it works fine, I'd like to implement 1.8.
The problem is when I run ./configure it errors telling me:
ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
   ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z
   or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
   in unusual place

both snort 1.7 and tcpdump work fine and just to be sure I (re)installed
libcap 0.6.2.

so, the question is where do I find the location of my libcap headers?

I am running linux slackware 7.1 kernel 2.2.16.

Thanks.
