Ok, I think I found a solution.  Someone posted a patch here 
http://trac.umitproject.org/ticket/328 that seems to work!  Save the following 
text to "python27patch" or whatever you want, save it in the same directory as 
the source code, and type: patch > python27patch.  Then just do python setup.py 
build, pythonsetup.py install, worked for me.

Thanks for posting the info and patch in Comment 6. A tiny correction to the 
redirection- it should be

  patch < python27patch

Hi,

I can confirm adding the line "#define HAVE_PCAP_FILE" to pcap_ex.c (from 
pypcap-1.1) solves the error message below. (FWIW: Ubuntu 11.04, python 2.7)

I had to use this patch in addition to the one above, to work with Ubuntu 10.11 
(oneiric):

I got it working in Win7 x64. 

Download WinPcap 4.1.2 Developer's Pack and extract:
http://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm

Download Pyrex and install:
http://brl.thefreecat.org/python-pyrex/

Get trunk and change line 45 in setup.py 
from:
for sd in ('include/pcap', 'include', ''):
to:
for sd in ('include', 'include', ''):

Then run as admininstrator:

python setup.py config --with-pcap="C:\Downloads\WpdPack_4_1_2\WpdPack"
python "c:\Python27\Scripts\pyrexc.py" pcap.pyx
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
