Since you did not provide the compile log I will assume you are getting
this error;

I have tried the current moonbase versions along with the beta versions of
dsniff and libnet in various combinations. All three have the same
arpsoof.c problem.

This looks like an upstream issue with dsniff and suggest you contact the
it's author providing them with your compile results.

hm, sorry, forgot about that. but this is the same error i get.
the problem seems to be libnet, not dsniff itself.
dsniff has been developed for libnet 1.0 and libnet 1.1 is incompatible
with libnet 1.0. Not dsniff's fault but libnet fault. (see
http://www.groar.org/patch/english.shtml)

Using 2.4b1-sined-2 and downgrading libnet to 1.0.tgz is no better. Get
fatal make errors on ./sshcrypto.c.

I also tried libnet-1.0.1a.tgz, libnet-1.0.1b.tar.gz, libnet-1.0.1.tgz,
libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz, lunar/libnet-1.0.2.tgz, 1.1.3-RC-01 and
libnet-1.1.2.1.tar.gz. All caused dsniff to fail with various other
errors.

While it *might* be a problem with libnet. Reading 
http://www.groar.org/patch/english.shtml there seems to be other issues
between the dsniff and libnet folks.

I am not inclined to pursue this any further by, for example generating
our own fixes/patches. This in my view is an upstream problem and should
be resolved there.
