This sounds like a problem with libpcap.
I was able to build successfully on my system (RHEL4).
I have libpcap version 0.8.3-10.RHEL4:
What is your output of:
# rpm -qa | grep pcap

?

Thanks for the feedbak! I reran configure with --disable-warnings-as-errors and the 'make' continued much farther than before. However, it still failed (after ~20 minutes of compiling) with:

Any ideas how to remedy this. Thanks again in advance.

Do:

./configure --disable-warnings-as-errors

and redo the make.
