On an FC5 x86_64 system with libnet-devel installed, I'm getting the 
following compilation error:

In file included from pcaptools/tcpreplay/src/tcpedit/../mac.c:32:
pcaptools/tcpreplay/src/tcpedit/../defines.h:44:39: error: 
/usr/local/include/libnet.h: No such file or directory

The problem is that libnet is detected by configure, but it is installed 
in /usr (/usr/include/libnet.h and /usr/lib64/libnet.a) and not 
/usr/local; config.log fragments include:

configure:24390: checking for libnet
configure:24418: result: /usr
...
LNETINC='/usr/include/libnet.h'
LNETLIB='/usr/lib64/libnet.a'

However, src/defines.h has the following:

#ifdef HAVE_LIBNET
#include "/usr/local/include/libnet.h"
#endif

There are a few solutions to this. 

One is to modify the configure script so that it doesn't look in 
/usr/include and /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64 in this case) for libnet, and 
to only use a version in /usr/local/.  But this is pretty lame, and 
requires extra work to prevent configure from accepting a --with-libnet= 
option with any value other than /usr/local/.

A better one is to change this to #include "libnet.h" and make sure that 
the necessary -I/usr/local/include is added to the Makefile by the 
configure script if needed (there's automake support for setting AC_LIBS 
and AC_DEFINES appropriately within configure, and this can be 
propagated to the Makefile from a modified Makefile.in).

The best one is to have src/defines.h generated from a new 
src/defines.h.in by configure, so that it can specify the right location 
for all of the header files, not just libnet.h but also libpcap.h, which 
is explicitly included as "/usr/include/libpcap.h" regardless of any 
--with-libpcap= option passed to configure.  This way you don't have to 
worry that you get the /usr/local version of libnet when you want the 
/usr version, but can't eliminate -I/usr/local/include as you also need 
the /usr/local version of some other library, say, libpcap-nav or something.
