Well, I compile on a system that has it (FC5), but running on FC8, the 
libpcap is
a different version, and it seems to compile/link in such a way that it 
needs
the exact version (or a faked out link like my script adds) to work.

I'm using the latest cvs code and synced yesterday while testing the script.

So, xorp builds and runs fine on the machine that compiles it, but it is 
slightly
more tricky to get it to work on later OSs w/out recompiling.

Thanks,
Ben
