Hi Guy

Thanks for the help. (Again.)
I have installed the latest updates from Apple, including the Security
Update.

I uninstalled the fink-installed libpcap and libpcap-shlibs
Copied the *.h files you indicated from the libpcap 0.8.1 source to
/usr/include, ran make distclean, re-ran ./configure with the same options,
and got the same results .

After that I also built & installed the libpcap 0.8.1 source into /usr/local
and re-ran make distclean and ./configure with --with-pcap=/usr/local
re-ran make and still had the same failure. I also tried it without the
--with-pcap=/usr/local option without any success.

Any other ideas?

TIA

Claude
