I kept getting the following error on Make:
g++: error: ../libpcap/libpcap.a: No such file or directory
I was able to get it to work by changing:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-liblua=included &&
to:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-liblua=included --with-libpcap=included &&
This is apparently a long standing bug with Nmap.
There are some patches for the problem, but I could not figure it out, so
using the --with-libpcap=included got it working.
All I can say is that the instructions in the book work for me. I do not
have libpcap.a installed.
Looking at my log:
checking pcap.h usability... yes
checking pcap.h presence... yes
checking for pcap.h... yes
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... yes
...
checking if libpcap is suitable... yes
checking whether pcap_get_selectable_fd is declared... yes
...
checking if PCAP_NETMASK_UNKNOWN is defined/handled by libpcap... yes
A couple of places I see -lpcap specified when linking.
I suspect you have libpcap.a specified in some .la file. See
