Easier solution:  Install Free/Net/OpenBSD on the same hardware.  :)

*ducks*

Seriously, check in the config.status or config.log for what it's choking on.
You should be able to manually link a copy if needed then.

I would _suggest_ that you ditch the RPM things, go grab the source from
tcpdump.org and build it by hand.  That way, you know where it goes and you
have the 'best' version that's known and stable.

Oh, and please keep in mind:  I don't know anything about Linux.  I'm just
speaking in general terms here....

Hope this helps!
