Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [ethereal-dev] Ethereal on Solaris -- lexical scanner problems.

["Brown, Wes" <Wes_Brown@xxxxxxx>]

I'm attempting to compile Ethereal on my Solaris machine.

Everything seems to go fine, until it gets to the linking stage.

At that point, there's apparently a conflict between the two parsers
generated by lex/flex in libpcap and dfilter-scanner.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve this?  I am using gcc, on a
Solaris-2.5.1 machine -- and using the Solaris lexical compiler.

Regards,
Wes Brown
