I'm trying to compile ethereal-0.9.5 on Mandrake 8.2. I've got the
following error running ./configure:

checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found checking for
net/bpf.h... no
configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed
libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"?

I installed libpcap from RPM:

[craig@localhost ethereal-0.9.5]$ rpm -ql libpcap0-0.6.2-3mdk

/usr/share/doc/libpcap0-0.6.2/VERSION /usr/share/man/man3/pcap.3.bz2
[craig@localhost ethereal-0.9.5]$

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks much.
