Nevermind.
The directions I received said to unpack libpcap and tcpdump in subdirectories of the same directory. I did this, but left the directories named 'libpcap-2004.09.28' and 'tcpdump- 2004.09.28'. This led to the error I reported.
When I changed the directory names to 'libpcap' and 'tcpdump', tcpdump compiled just fine.
I consider this bug report closed.

Hmm. It looks, from the compiler output, as if the tcpdump configure script did figure out that it should check in ../libpcap-2004.09.28 for libpcap header files and libraries. Perhaps the configure script doesn't look there when testing what files are available in libpcap? If so, that's arguably a bug.
This is no more relevant unless reproduces.

This error occured when I tried to compile tcpdump-2004.09.28 on my Debian woody, kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 system:
kevinz@www:~/tcpdump-2004.09.28$
I had just previously successfully compiled and installed libpcap-2004.09.28.
Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
