Hi,

Am I recalling correctly that required dependencies listed in the BLFS book are build dependencies and not runtime?

If that's the case, does the ppp page in SVN need to list libcap as a required dependency? On the LiveCD we build ppp just fine without libcap (and for all I know it works fine, too - I never use it but Alexander set it up and I believe he uses ppp). I also just tested a manual build again, and it compiles just fine.

libpcap is needed at build time for options like "demand" and "atcive-filter" to work. So it is an optional build-time dependency.
