Libpcap library/headers not found...

[Beckster <beckster () gte net>]

Howdy,

Trying to install snort-1.8.1 on a linux 7.1 i386.  Have installed
libpcap from tcpdump.org tarball and also tried libpcap from the 
ee.lbl.gov site.  Libpcap.a resides in /usr/local/lib/.  Tcpdump-3.6.2
install also fails with this:

tcpdump.o(.text_0x687): undefined reference to 'bpf_dump'
/usr/local/lib/libpcap.a(pcap-linux.o): In function 'pcap_open_live':
pcap-linux.o(.text_0x56f): undefined reference to 'atexit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tcpdump] Error 1

Error on snort ./configure is below.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated - I'm kinda stuck now.

Regards,
Becky
