One More Problem in regards to installing Metasploit on Ubuntu

Is this really required? 3.10 is hella old... there are myriad other
reasons to upgrade your OS to something more recent.

base64's suggestion of installing libpcap-dev should work fine on
Ubuntu 8.10 (which is what I use ATM), since that will install libpcap
0.8, and that will include headers and junk.

However, libpcap is available at 1.0, so you might consider just
installing from source directly.
