See if there are libpcap RPMs that you haven't installed, perhaps one with a
name like "libpcap-dev" or something with "-dev" in the name, although usually
"-dev" packages include both static libraries and header files, so without the
"-dev" package you won't be able to compile anything. Perhaps Fedora has
separate packages for the libpcap runtime (shared libraries), libpcap
development (headers), and libpcap static libraries.
However, "cannot find -lc" means it also doesn't have a static version of libc,
so you'll also have to find a Fedora package with a static version of libc.

Probably because either
1) the other laptops are running the same version of Fedora but don't
have all those shared libraries installed
or
2) they're running some other OS, so that the libraries have different
pathnames.
As far as I know, there's not much binary compatibility between different Linux
distributions for anything other than programs with no dynamic libraries; there
*might* be some level of binary compatibility allowing software compiled for
older versions of a distribution to run on newer versions.

I.e., if you compile it on another machine, it doesn't even work on *that*
machine?
What does "tcpdump -h" print on the laptop where the build works and on the
laptops where it doesn't?
