Yes.  Build on a system that already has a dynamic libpcap library 
(which means it's probably in /usr/lib, where the compiler will search 
by default, so no library directory needs to be specified; if you've 
installed whatever development packages are necessary to get the libpcap 
headers, they're probably in /usr/include, so, again, no include 
directory needs to be specified), and don't download and build libpcap.
