./configure gave me wrong error message: pcap missing, but sqlite was missing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With version 1.1 of reaver I had to install pcap lib. Then I could ./configure 
and make (compile) it.

With version 1.4 reaver told me that pcap lib was missing again. But it was 
installed! I could not finish ./configure.

With version 1.3 ./configure told me that sqlite lib was missing. After 
installing that I could ./configure and make.

Now version 1.4 worked too.

Summary: ./configure of version 1.4 is complaining about missing pcap lib, but 
sqlite lib was missing. Strange!

System: Linux 2.6.34.9-69.fc13.i686 (Fedora 13)

I just had this problem as well with Ubuntu 11.10.  To get past it, I commented 
out the AC_CHECK_LIB for pcap in configure.ac.  Then I ran:

  autoreconf --install --force

Then I ran configure and it got to the sqlite3 check which failed.  Installed 
sqlite3 and configure succeeded.

I then uncommented the AC_CHECK_LIB for pcap, ran autoreconf, and configure 
worked fine again.  This seems like rather strange behavior related to autoconf.

This is a dupe of issue 194, 189, 97, and possibly others.
