[ARGUS] pcap.h problem on FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE

[Peter Van Epp]

	Which release are you using? This was a problem early in 2.0.6 
somewhere, but rc2 builds fine on 4.9-RELEASE for me:


FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Mon Oct 27 17:51:09 GMT 2003

test6# cd argus-2.0.6.rc2
test6# ./configure
checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
checking target system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
checking for gcc... gcc
...
checking for library containing putmsg... no
checking for local pcap library... no
checking for main in -lpcap... yes
checking for pcap.h... yes /usr/include
...

	It didn't originally search in /usr/include for pcap.h but that got
corrected some time ago. 

test6# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/argus

works fine too (I had the late thought maybe the prefix broke things).
