Error compiling

[ghost]

I'm trying to install this gem on Ubuntu and not having any luck. I'm using ruby 1.9.2. When I do a gem install I get the following error/output:

ERROR: Error installing pkg/pcap-0.7.1.gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Searching for this error doesn't yield anything useful.

Ah, I haven't tried to get this working under 1.9 yet. I'll see if I can find some time over the next few days.

+1 for 1.9 :)
