You're missing a bug-free libpcap :). The pcap library included with
FreeBSD mis-declares fddipad as extern (in /usr/src/lib/libpcap/gencode.c).
Remove the extern keyword and recompile. Or you could get the latest
and greatest libpcap from ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z, which compiles
on FreeBSD out of the box.
