Looks like you don't have (or the install can't find) libpcap, which is needed when making nessus-libraries. You either need to install that or invoke the configure script with the option --enable-nessuspcap to use an emulation. If you want to install libpcap itself, check your distribution CD for an RPM, download on from your favourite RPM repository, or compile it from scratch (see <http://www.tcpdump.org/>). Note: be *very* careful if you choose to compile the source yourself -- as mentioned recently (see <http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/nessus-0211/44.html>), there was a trojaned version on tcpdump.org earlier this month. And the site's apparently been down since the news broke.
