Download the slackware libpcap package from
http://search.slackware.eu/cgi-bin/package.cgi/download/slackware-current/slackware/l/libpcap-1.1.1-i486-1.txz/USA
Next as root use installpkg -m libpcap to install the downloaded package. You
should then have libpcap.so which is what simh requires to link.
Alternatively use a different distro which is simpler to manage such as Red
Hat/Centos or Debian, where all you need to do is type yum install libpcap or
aptitude install libpcap and they will automatically download and install the
package ready for simh. Indeed, on debian and RH/Centos, you can just do yum
install simh and the whole lot is downloaded and installed including all
dependences.
