OK, I was thinking, I use 'sudo' and wondered if it was an ENV thing 
going on:

sudo ./dsniff.Slackbuild
...
checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... yes
checking for libpcap... yes
checking for libnet... no
configure: error: libnet not found

Now log in as 'real' root:

./dsniff.Slackbuild
...
checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... yes
checking for libpcap... yes
checking for libnet... no
configure: error: libnet not found

Now as normal user (me) in dsniff directory:

./configure
...
checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... yes
checking for libpcap... yes
checking for libnet... yes
checking for libnids... yes
checking whether libnids version is good... yes
checking for OpenSSL... yes
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating config.h
config.h is unchanged

Huh!  See what I mean?
