 .. note::
 
    :program:`mongosniff` requires ``libpcap`` and is only available for
-   Unix-like systems. Furthermore, the version distributed with the
-   MongoDB binaries is dynamically linked against aversion 0.9 of
-   ``libpcap``. If your system has a different version of ``libpcap``, you
-   will need to compile :program:`mongosniff` yourself or create a
-   symbolic link pointing to ``libpcap.so.0.9`` to your local version
-   of ``libpcap``. Use an operation that resembles the following:
-
-   .. code-block:: sh
-
-      ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1.1.1 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9
-
-   Change the path's and name of the shared library as needed.

 As an alternative to :program:`mongosniff`, Wireshark, a popular
 network sniffing tool is capable of inspecting and parsing the MongoDB
