bosecorp,

Please run the commands in the order that I listed them - I believe that libpcap will need to be reinstalled in order to generate pcap.h.

# whereis pcap.h

Does ./configure succeed now?

Nop, same result

Is the following package already installed? If not, please install it: It's interesting that pcap.h was found in '/./ubstmp/sirsi2_usr/local/include/pcap.h'.

this is what I get

The libpcap-devel package is part of the 'base' repository. You will need access to the base repository in order to download it. It's worth noting that it looks like you're using Red Hat Satellite - you may have to enable access to the package through that.

I believe in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 'libpcap-devel' package is shipped via "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) Extended Update Support channel". See this post:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/57913

right, that is why the yum command said that it was already installed.

but then the configure command still fails.
