On which version of which Linux distribution are you trying to compile  
libpcap?

Note also that your distribution probably has a package (RPM, dpkg,  
Gentoo package, Slackware package, etc.) for libpcap; if so, you  
should be able to install libpcap from that package (and your  
distribution might even have a package for Snort).
