  Ahh ok.   Do you understand the difference now?   If not I can type up
an explanation of how it all works.

Are .so and .a libraries interchangeable for the linker, i.e. would this
have worked too:


NETWORK_OPT = -DUSE_NETWORK -isystem /usr/local/include
/usr/lib/libpcap.so

  This is compiler-dependent, but it generally should work.   The
"proper" way to link against a library, though, is to use "-l<libname>"
on the link command.
