WOW!
That was a fast reply! Thanks!

It seems that i have an old version of libpcap.

I want to install the newest version now but i need to know if i have to 
uninstall the old version first or can i just install the new on top of it? 
and how ?(excuse me but i am a linux newbie)

thanks in advance
