What happens if you type the commands "cc" and "gcc" (with no
command-line arguments)?

If you get errors such as

        cc: not found
        gcc: not found
        ksh: cc:  not found
        ksh: gcc:  not found
        cc: Command not found
        gcc: Command not found

then either

        1) you don't have a C compiler on your machine, and you won't be
           able to compile libpcap or tcpdump source - you appear to
           have downloaded the source from LBL, but getting the latest
           source from tcpdump.org won't make a difference, as the
           problem is that you need a compiler to build any source
           distribution;

        2) you have a C compiler but your shell's command search path
           isn't set to include the directory in which it's installed -
           ask somebody on your machine where the C compiler is, and
           change your path setting to include that directory.

If you get errors such as

        usage: cc [ options] files.  Use 'cc -flags' for details
        gcc: No input files

then you have the compiler or compilers in question, and they are in
your path, but somehow the configure script didn't find them - send us
the contents of the "config.log" file (but don't do that unless you got
the two errors listed immediately above - the most likely problem is
that you either don't have a compiler, or that you do but your path
isn't set to include it, in which case "config.log" won't tell us
anything useful).

If by "Solaris 2.6 libpcap" and "Solaris 2.6 tcpdump" you mean a
*binary* version of libpcap/tcpdump for Solaris 2.6 (the source versions
on the LBL site and on the tcpdump.org site aren't Solaris versions,
they're source code versions for all platforms), so that you don't need
a compiler, then there aren't any on tcpdump.org, but there are some at

        http://condmat.uniovi.es/tcpdump/

You want the packages (under "Packages available for Solaris (SPARC and
x86 platforms)").
