[Simh] Problems compling SIMH

[Joe Ambrose]

Thanks to all of you who came to my rescue! 

I downloaded a newer version of pcap (1.1.1) built and installed it,
adjusted the makefile and Voila! It complied with no complaint!

Now the fun starts......

Slowly learning Linux. ..... a brave new world.

Thanks again!
