Yes I have libpcap, its installed (I'm installed it from source). 
Version is "libpcap0-0.7.1"

"nm | grep pcap_open_live show any lines ?" it shows "nm: a.out: No such
file or directory"

"ls libpcap*" shows "libpcap.a  libpcap.so@  libpcap.so.0@  libpcap.so.0.7*"

Yes it was crippled, but I installed every thing needed to compile. For
example gcc, make ...

And I attached my config.log file for more info.

I don't have any clue with this error until now.

If you have a libpcap on your system then does nm | grep pcap_open_live 
show any lines ?

On this Mandrake

[EMAIL PROTECTED] stanley]$ cd /usr/lib
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ ls libpcap*
   0 libpcap.so.0@   120 libpcap.so.0.7*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ uname -a

# Shucks
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ nm libpcap.so.0.7 | grep pcap_open_live
nm: libpcap.so.0.7: no symbols
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ nm libpcap.so.0.7 | more               
nm: libpcap.so.0.7: no symbols
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ 

So forget the latter advice and focus on the code in config.log that is
failing.

Perhaps a better suggestion is to look at the contents of the
ldconfig. Unfortunately, I don't know how on Linux to display this.

You may have a system that is crippled for ntop in an attempt to 
make it more secure.

HTH,

Yours sincerely.
