Compiling ntop on Debian linux
I'm trying to compile ntop on Debian but when I run the configure script it
gives this:

checking for LBL Packet Capture Library (required package)... not found!
fallback for standard installation.
checking for pcap_lookupdev in -lpcap... no
not found!
*** FATAL ERROR ***
It looks that you don't have the libpcap distribution installed.
Download, compile and, optionally, install it.
When finished please re-run this program.
You can download the latest source tarball at http://www.tcpdump.org/
configure: error: The LBL Packet Capture Library, libpcap, was not found!

But I have libpcap installed- Ethereal and Tcpdump work just fine. Can I
tell it to look in a different place for libpcap?
