Did you compile the new libpcap and libdnet from source, or get binary
packages? If you compiled from source, I am surprised that libdnet would
build there but fail to build in the Nmap tree. It would help if you
could send the output of configure from both versions of libdnet.

If you got binary packages, what are the contents of the
/ibm/aixgnu/libpcap-1.0.1 and /ibm/aixgnu/libdnet-1.12 directories? I
don't know anything about AIX, but maybe the message

is an indication that it couldn't find the libpcap library file.

Try adding those -bloadmap and -bnoquiet options, either by editing the
ncat Makefile directly, or by configuring with

./configure --with-libpcap=/ibm/aixgnu/libpcap-1.0.0 --with-libdnet=/ibm/aixgnu/libdnet-1.12 LDFLAGS="-bloadmap 
-bnoquiet"
