Libcap problem in Snort installation



Dear all, I have a Debian Etch system. After I download the Snort 2.6 tarball and I do tar -xzvf, I execute "./configure --with-mysql" and I get this error message:

ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
  http://www.tcpdump.org
  or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
  in unusual place

I have the following libcap Debian packages:

libcap-bin 1.10-14 , libcap-dev 1.10-14 , libcap1 1.10-14 , libcapi20-3 3.9.20060704-2 and libcapi20-dev 3.9.20060704-2

and the command "whereis libcap" give me yhis result:

libcap: /lib/libcap.a /lib/libcap.so

What can be the problem ??? How can I install Snort in my Debian Etch ???

Thanks a lot and greetings,

Alejandro
