Redhat/Fedora splits out the development parts of applications source
code, i.e. include files and library. They put them into a separate rpm
from the base application. It's makes for leaner systems. 

So you need to install the libpcap-devel RPM on the machine you are
compiling it on.

yum install libpcap-devel
