Hey Eric,
   You need to either install libpcap, or put a distribution
of libpcap where you are building your argus.  The INSTALL
description goes over that pretty well.

Greetings,

We downgraded from 5.1-RELEASE to 4.9-RELEASE and see this.

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/argus
[snip]
checking for library containing gethostbyname... none required
checking for library containing socket... none required
checking for library containing putmsg... no
checking for local pcap library... no

checking for pcap.h... no
configure: error: cannot find pcap.h
./configure: line 5430: exit: see: numeric argument required
./configure: line 5430: exit: see: numeric argument required

OS version is below

# uname -a
FreeBSD server 4.9-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 27 17:51:09 GMT
2003
root at freebsd-stable.sentex.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

This is with argus-2.0.6

Any help is appreciated -- thanks.
