Hi!  The problem is you do not have pcap installed.  This is a library for
packet capture.  You need to get and compile it for Linux.  (I cannot
remember where I got pcap.)  I can also tell you that you will run into a
few other problems compiling NSE for Linux.  I eventually compiled NSE (with
ns-2.1b5) with some source modification under RH6.0; however, the NSE
example scripts make FreeBSD-specific system calls so you are not home free
even after getting it to compile under Linux.  I have not spent the time to
find the equivalent Linux system calls.  I am not convinced it would work if
I did.

If you get it to work on Linux, I would be VERY interested in knowing.  I
can even send you the modified source code that I have to make it at least
compile under Linux RH6.0.  I can also tell you that I installed FreeBSD
2.2.8 (according to the specs., the emulator was developed under FreeBSD
2.2.5), but it still is not working.

Good Luck.
