[Bro] Problem in compiling Bro on an Ubuntu 7.10 system (probably something with lpcap)

It doesn't find the library:

    configure:8312: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lpcap   >&5
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcap

While I can't help with the Ubuntu installation, you could try to
configure with "--enable-shippedpcap". That links against a libpcap
shipped with Bro.
