I have got the same error when I build pypcap in sles11, it's caused by missing
'HAVE_PCAP_FILE' definition in config.h. And I think the root caused is that 
header
file directory changed in libpcap 0.9.8.

# rpm -ql libpcap-devel-0.9.8-50.2
/usr/include/pcap
/usr/include/pcap-bpf.h
/usr/include/pcap-namedb.h
/usr/include/pcap.h
/usr/include/pcap/bpf.h
/usr/include/pcap/namedb.h
/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h
/usr/include/pcap/sll.h
/usr/include/pcap/usb.h
/usr/lib64/libpcap.a
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so

In my sles11, pcap.h is in both /usr/include and /usr/include/pcap, but the 
pcap.h in
/usr/include/pcap contains the function definitions.

When we do python setup.py config, the script will find pcap.h and some 
function, 
and then define some macro like 'HAVE_PCAP_FILE' in config.h. As you see, it 
will
find the /usr/include/pcap.h firstly, but no function could be found, and no
definition in config.h.

So you need to patch the setup.py, let it find the true pacp.h and create valid
config.h. then all is ok.

Good luck.

Can you please share what exactly you changed in setup.py?

All I needed to do was exchange the order of the include directories as below:
