The kwarchive package of tcpdump at

  http://leaf.sf.net/pub/packages-list.html

includes libpcap and works well for me.


You probably know most or all of the following already, but
to be complete for the benefit of the archives...

The command

  tcpdump -n -i eth0 not port 22

should capture headers of all traffic on  the external
interface (and not pound your dns server in the process).

For full packet captures, you probably want something
like:

  tcpdump -s 1500 -n -i eth0 not port 22

The "not port 22"s are handy if you're connected via
ssh, but not necessary otherwise.  Add a "-w file.dump"
if you want to capture the output to a file rather
than stdout.  "-r file.dump" is used to read the file
offline.
