Hmmm, the problem really seems to be that my dev environment fails to
find pcap_open so it cannot support rpcap.

That is, both HAVE_PCAP_OPEN and HAVE_PCAP_REMOTE are not defined, but
HAVE_PCAP_REMOTE is not defined because HAVE_PCAP_OPEN is not defined.

Now to see if a more recent version of libpcap that 1.5.3 has what I need.
