System is running Debian potato with a few packages
from sid:
libpacp0 0.6.2-2
libswig1.3 1.3.11-1
python 2.1.3-3
gcc 2.95.4-14

Can you help?

Cheers,
Roland.

I had the same problem, it appears libpcap is version 6 not
version 7

I also had the same problem. The solution for me was
different. I have a self-built gcc 3.2.3, which comes with
its own bpf.h. That was being used in favor of the one in
/usr/include, but the gcc version looks to be from libpcap
0.6 or so. I fixed this by manually compiling pcap.c with
the -isystem/usr/include option to gcc.

I had the samep problem, identical final output:

OS: Mac OSX 10.2.6
installing: pylibpcap-0.4
installed: libpcap-2003.08.19
python: Python 2.3
(note, framework install- should be functionally
identical to non-framework install)

I'm not sure what the procedure is to resolve this, seems as
though I'm not the only one though- so I'd be willing to help find a
global fix for this- (?)

Do not use gcc 2.95.4, its buggy
