It gets installed as libwpcap without a pkg-config entry, so you need to 
somehow convince ./configure to look for it. Check the help on configure, it 
may give you some hints on how to specify the library.

Also, finding the headers in /usr/include is not what you want - they are the 
native headers and not the cross-compile ones.

Hope this helps,
