need help in compilation

[Abdun Mahmood]

checking for local pcap library... no
checking for main in -lpcap... no
checking for local wpcap library... no
checking for main in -lwpcap... no
configure: error: cannot find packet capture library
./configure: exit: bad non-numeric arg `see'
./configure: exit: bad non-numeric arg `see'

I have compiled libpcap but its not installed globally. Do I need
anything else as well?
How can I specify libpcap directory somewhere in Makefile.in ?
