Problem compiling tcpdump-3.8.3

[Gerard Beekmans <gerard () linuxfromscratch org>]

Hi guys,

I have a problem compiling tcpdump-3.8.3.

libpcap-0.8.3 is compiled and installed as follows:
        ./configure --prefix=/usr
        make
        make install

tcpdump is attempted to be installed using the same commands. I've tried
both keeping the compiled libpcap directory available and I have removed
it. In both cases, the following compile error shows up:

gcc -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -I.
-I./../libpcap-0.8.3  -I./missing -I/usr//include -L/usr//lib  -o

tcpdump.o(.text+0x947): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `pcap_debug'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The last line in the output would read -lpcap when I don't keep the
libpcap directory around. The error is the same at any rate.

Configure did check for, and found, pcap_debug:

checking whether pcap_debug is defined by libpcap... yes

Versions of software used:
GCC-3.4.1
Glibc-2.3.4 (20040701 snapshot since Glibc doesn't release releases
anymore)
Kernel 2.6.8.1
Binutils-2.15.91.0.2
Flex-2.5.31
Bison-1.875a

Any suggestions as to how to get tcpdump to link properly?

Thanks,
