pcap shared libraries: inconsistencies across Linux machines

["Alexander Dupuy" <alex.dupuy () counterstorm com>]

ELF versioning is handled by ONAME tag in the library .so which specifies an exact library name for linking. This is 
typically something like libx.so.6 which is a symlink to libx.so.6.1.2. So unless libpcap.so was built with an ONAME of 
libpcap.so.0 the default is an exact version match, i.e. libpcap.so.0.9.4. I don't remember the options to set ONAME 
but libtool does handle this.
