In fact I have tried w/ ethereal 0.9.5, 0.9.0, 0.8.19, 0.8.12 all were giving the same problem. But I used to compile ethereal-0.8.12 before with no problem. Like you said I recently upgraded autoconf, automake,gcc, etc.,
Here is what I upgraded: gcc version 3.2 autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53 automake 1.6 Now I don't know exactly which one is causing problem. thanks, Malai -----Original Message----- From: Joerg Mayer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 2:00 PM To: Richard Sharpe Cc: Malai Adigal; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] ethereal-0.9.0 compilation bug On Sat, Sep 21, 2002 at 04:40:08AM +0930, Richard Sharpe wrote: > This is an old, old version.

Actually, this is not so much a problem in Ethereal but a problem in the interaction of an old version of autoconf with new build tools (e.g. gcc 3.x emitting messages that 2.x didn't emit) thus causing the build process to fail. The last release version of Ethereal is 0.9.6 which was still built with that old version of autoconf. The next version will be built with a newer version that doesn't have these problems any more. If you want to try now, you can either use the sources in cvs or download the following rebuilt archive: http://www-agrw.informatik.uni-kl.de/home/jmayer/ethereal-0.9.6.tar.gz Please note that although it does have the same name as the realease package it was created from cvs sources a few days newer than the release (not that this should matter - it doesn't seem to have mattered to the people who have been asking that question in the past). Ciao J�rg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.
