To expand on this just a bit:  You can't just compile the tcpdrop
executable and expect it to work.  It requires a newly-built kernel
(because there's a teensy bit of kernel support required) and probably
resulting minor changes in some system header files.

*That's* why you need to run through the source upgrade procedure that
Maxim mentioned.
