I was thinking this was pretty odd, so I looked at the source
distribution for simh v3.8-1. It seems the makefile is hard-coded to
look for libpcap.a in /usr/local/lib.
Bad idea.
Edit the makefile and fix the path to libpcap.a. That's on line 18 in
the standard v3.8-1 sources.

Hi! It sounds to me like you've got the runtime support for libpcap
installed, but not the "development" support.
For libraries, .so files (so == Shared Object) are used at runtime,
while .a (Archive) files are used at compile time. (well, more
specifically at link time). The former are dynamically-linked shared
libraries, whereas the latter are non-shared libraries for static linking.
These days, compilation support is rarely included by default on Linux
OS or package distributions to save space. One must explicitly install
the "dev" version of the library, which typically gets you .a files for
static linking, as well as the header (.h) files.
I've never seen Fedora 14, so I don't know exactly how its package
repository system works, but you'll need to find and install whatever
package corresponds to "libpcap-dev" or something very similarly named.
This should get you going.

On CentOS it was called libpcap-devel, so yum install libpcap-devel did the trick.
Well, sort of. For some reason the makefile needs to be hacked to point at /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib and /usr/include vs /usr/local/include, and it still doesn't work on 64 bit distros, saying the .a file is 32 bit only..

SG1:: and the Multinet Tunnel have returned to the Eastern US Hub. For
those who need it, resolve bridge.declab.net for the address.
Restoration of the bridge connection is in progress...
