Perl module Net::Pcap cannot be installed

[tkroe]

I am currently struggling when trying to install the perl module "Net::Pcap".

Here is the output of what happens:

Code: Select all

root@fitlet:~# cpan install Net::Pcap

You appear to lack the pcap(3) library.

If it is installed in a non-standard location, please try setting the LIBS 
and INC values on the command line.

Or get the sources and install the pcap library from http://www.tcpdump.org/

If you install the pcap library using a system package, make sure to also 
install the corresponding -devel package, which contains the C headers needed 
to compile this module.

I was browsing the Internet and trying different things to fix it but unfortuantely failed.

Here are the packages I installed:

Code: Select all

tobi@fitlet:~$ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
tobi@fitlet:~$ sudo apt-get install libnet-pcap-perl

And when I check for libpcap I can actually find it here:

Code: Select all

root@fitlet:~# locate pcap
[..]
/usr/include/pcap
[..]
/usr/include/pcap.h
[..]
/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h
[..]
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.so.0.8
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.so.1.6.2

So I kind of wonder what is going wrong.

Any suggestions?

Use debian package of libnet-pcap OR cpan. Your choice.
