If you want to install libpcap from the libpcap source, the first  
thing you need to install on your machine is one of

	Linux;

	{Free,Net,Open,DragonFly}BSD;

	Solaris.

I.e., libpcap is UN*X-only; if you want to use Windows, you need  
WinPcap.  (Well, there's some MS-DOS support - but there's no MS-DOS  
in W2K, and that doesn't work with autoconf etc. in any case.)
