title: CPAN : Can't install Net/Pcap.pm
body: <p>On Linux Xubuntu 14.04.3 (3.19.0-25 generic).</p>
  
  <pre><code>cpan &gt; install Net::Pcap
  ...
  CPAN.pm : Building S/SA/SAPER/Net-Pcap-0.17.tar.gz
  looking for -lpcap... no
  You appear to lack the pcap(3) library
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I tried this</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cd /home/user/.cpan/build/Net-Pcap-0.17-hash
  $ perl Makefile.PL INC=-I/usr/include/pcap LIBS='-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcap.so -lpcap'
  looking for -lpcap... no
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
   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.

  <p>To complete the question here is the libs</p>
  
  <pre><code># dpkg -L libpcap0.8-dev
  ...
  /usr/include/pcap-bpf.h
  /usr/include/pcap
  /usr/include/pcap/usb.h
  /usr/include/pcap/namedb.h
  /usr/include/pcap/bpf.h
  /usr/include/pcap/pcap.h
  /usr/include/pcap/bluetooth.h
  /usr/include/pcap/sll.h
  /usr/include/pcap/ipnet.h
  /usr/include/pcap/vlan.h
  /usr/include/pcap.h
  /usr/include/pcap-namedb.h
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcap.a
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcap.so
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please note that wireshark runs fine in this clean VM.</p>
  
  <p>So what's wrong ? Is the package deprecated ?</p>
