What distribution, and what version of that distribution?

So where was cbm built?  It appears it wasn't built for the machine on which you're running, as it thinks the soname of 
libpcap is "libpcap.so.1", but your system has libpcap.so.0.9.7 and libpcap.so.0.9 (the latter is probably a symlink to 
the former).

So, having done that, do you now have a /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1 either in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib?

If so...
