Well, that might be your first problem - you're using an old version of
libpcap.

The fact that you sent the mail to "libpcap () ee lbl gov" indicates you
might not have been told that the LBL folks aren't maintaining tcpdump
or libpcap any more, and that the Tcpdump Group (or whatever the
"official" name for the tcpdump.org group is) are now maintaining it.

"libpcap () ee lbl gov" and "tcpdump () ee lbl gov" get forwarded to
"tcpdump-workers () tcpdump org", which is the mailing list for tcpdump and
libpcap.

The tcpdump/libpcap development group has, as you might guess from the
previous paragraphs, a Web server at www.tcpdump.org; we also have newer
versions of libpcap and tcpdump.

In fact:

> FreeBSD brokersalliance.com 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0:

...the version of libpcap and tcpdump that come with FreeBSD 4.7 are
based on those newer versions, so if you're building libpcap 0.4 on
FreeBSD 4.7, you're reverting to an *older* version of libpcap.

The latest releases (libpcap 0.7.1 and tcpdump 3.7.1) are available from
tcpdump.org's Web site, as are snapshots of the current CVS tree, if you
don't just want to run the versions that come with FreeBSD 4.7.
