I'd say config.sub and config.guess are outdated, replace them with:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub and try again PS: /usr/libpcap-0.9.4/ ? you shouldn't build software as root ;) PPS: why don't you use pkgsrc for building 3rd party software? www.pkgsrc.org
