What does

        egrep DL_PROMISC_PHYS /opt/K/SCO/lli/5.0.7a/llicompat/dlpi.h

print?

If that command doesn't print anything, or if it prints an error, then  
it appears to mean that whatever version of SCO OpenServer you're  
running has a sufficiently different mechanism for capturing raw  
network traffic from the DLPI used in Solaris and HP-UX (and some  
other UN*Xes) that pcap-dlpi.c can't be used, and completely new code  
would have to be used for that.

I'll see whether that SCO source tarball I mentioned had any code of  
that sort.  If not, the only way to resolve this problem would either  
be to

	1) find somebody with the time to implement that code (I don't have  
the time to do that), and give them enough access to a machine running  
SCO OpenServer to let them debug the code

or

	2) get SCO to provide you with a version of libpcap that supports  
your version of SCO OpenServer (if they have one; if they don't, this  
is the same as the "find somebody with the time..." case).
