reaver-wps is the program that cracks wps. I encountered problem while running the configure script for the source code on KDE Linux Mint 12:
checking for gcc… gcc
checking whether the C compiler works… yes
checking for C compiler default output file name… a.out
checking for suffix of executables…
checking whether we are cross compiling… no
checking for suffix of object files… o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler… yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g… yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89… none needed
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap… no
error: pcap library not found!
libpcap0.8 and libpcap0.8-dev were installed because I installed wireshark, however the problem was not due to absence of libpcap. It lacked sqlite3 development files, for ubuntu based Linux use apt-get to install libsqlite3-dev and install sqlite3. Installing sqlite3 alone does not install libsqlite3-dev.
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
After installing libsqlite3-dev configure script configured the source code successfully.
Note: Reaver has sqlite3 and libpcap as dependencies.

Thaks a lot. I had same problem.
I ran into the same problem on CentOS 6:
uname -a –> Linux 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 23:56:34 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Download the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/downloads/list)
$ gunzip reaver-1.4.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf reaver-1.4.tar
$ cd reaver-1.4/src
$ ./configure ==> error pcap not found (found in libpcap)
$ su root
# yum install libpcap-devel ==> OK base
# yum install sqlite-devel ==> OK base
# cd reaver-1.4/src
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# exit
$ which reaver –> /usr/local/bin/reaver
