Installing libpcap on Ubuntu - Security with Go [Book]
January 31, 2018 - In Ubuntu, libpcap-0.8 is already installed by default. To install the gopacket library, though, you also need the header files in the development package. You can install the header files through the libpcap-dev package.

We’ve been maintaining binary compatibility between libpcap releases for quite a while; there’s no reason to tie a binary linked with libpcap to a particular release of libpcap. It is a fully independent package. All necessary things are installed during the normal installation process.

Spelling out Michael's answer:
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
sudo yum install libpcap-devel
sudo yum-config-manager --disable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
Or you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo:
[rhel-6-server-optional-rpms]
name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Optional (RPMs)
baseurl = https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/6/$releasever/$basearch/optional/os
enabled = 1

libpcap-devel is in the RHEL optional channel, which you need to enable on your system.
And if you don't have access to RHEL documentation, you need to talk to whoever is in charge of that in your company to get your Red Hat account authorized for access.
