To quote the INSTALL.txt file in the latest version of libpcap:

That's still true; none of us, as far as I know, have a machine running 
SCO OpenServer.  Furthermore, the *ONLY* libpcap stuff I could find at 
the SCO Skunkware site:

        http://www.sco.com/skunkware/

is a tarball of the libpcap 0.6.2 source which appears to be *identical* 
to the standard libpcap 0.6.2 source release, which was in the "OSR5/UW7 
Source Archives" directory, so perhaps libpcap 0.6.2 worked on 
OpenServer 5, and some change to libpcap after 0.6.2 or some change to 
OpenServer after OpenServer 5 caused it no longer to work.

If you can tell us what the compiler errors are when you try to compile 
the current version of libpcap, we *might* be able to debug the problem.
