New description:

 Attempting to install libpcap via Terminal produces errors every time.
 Under Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5:

 {{{
 --->  Extracting libpcap
 --->  Applying patches to libpcap
 --->  Configuring libpcap
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed (see log for details)
 Log for libpcap is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_net_libpcap/libpcap/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 Per Ticket #12949, checked /usr/include/net for bpf.h file and it does not
 exist.

 Downloading and installing manually does not produce any joy, as at least
 one file that should exist after installation is not there:
 libpcap.a.dylib (not libpcap.A.dylib).

 How can this be fixed so libpcap can be installed via MacPorts?

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting, don't set priority to high (as
 doing this is reserved for maintainers only) and Cc the maintainer. Please
 also read the ticket guidelines prominently linked from the "New Ticket"
 page. You don't need to Cc yourself either.

 Reassigning to maintainer, but note it's up to the maintainer whether he
 supports PPC or not, but most maintainers are happy to apply patches
 fixing problems.
