    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    If you have gcc installed on your system, then you should have all the network libraries and headers you need. The libnet package isn't part of the standard package set for CentOS / RHEL distributions. I see a version (1.1.2) of libnet on rpmforge. What distribution+version of Red Hat or Fedora are you using?

    Ok here's the deal I'm trying to make a simple sniffer application.I know a lot of code already exists but still I want to code my own sniffer.Is it a good idea to use libpcap(I guess it would make it easier) or should I go head on without it.Also could you tell me if libpcap provides any functionality to give the statistics related to the packets captured
