I believe you can do 'nm' on /usr/local/lib/libpcap.so to see what symbols that shared library is exporting, but that won't fix anything, it'll just give you confirmation that a function or global variable that you depend on isn't being exported from the library.

I ran ldd on my copy of iftop which I built from sources, and it doesn't even use libpcap as a shared library. I think it might have got treated as a static library at link time, so I can't really give you any good advice as to what the libpcap.so library should be exporting in the way of symbols.

Building from source isn't that hard, I'd recommend that, really, if you have access to a compiler and such on your system.
