>>> import pcap
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/pcap.so: undefined symbol:
pcap_dispatch

I'm using pypcap 1.1 and made the changes from issues 14 and 22 so it would
build on a 64-bit setup.

I encountered this same issue. When I perform a setup.py "config" and "install" 
it
appears that pcap.so is not linked against -lpcap. However running "config", 
"build",
and then "install" fixed the issue for me.

The following change to setup.py fixes the issue for me:
