Thank you |
Are you possibly attempting to compile this on a remote/mounted filesystem? Or mabye CIFS?

Welcome to LQ. .. .. :)
How about # yum install libpcap-devel Or use the 'Package Manager' : "Add Remove Software" Version 1.0.0 is provided on Fedora 12 and 13. Which Fedora are you using ? You may have a too old Fedora or a corrupt source code. This libpcap-1.1.1 will compile on any modern Linux : http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...1.fc14.src.rpm > libpcap-1.1.1-1.fc14.src.rpm → libpcap-1.1.1.tar.gz .. |
