Hi,

I download the  libpcap-0.5.2 and attempted to run the make on Solaris 2.7 platform after the running the configure script and I get the following error:

The make was run in SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

The lex that I am using is "lex: Software Generation Utilities (SGU) Solaris/ELF (3.0)

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
