In your reply you mentioned a README.aix, but its not on the archive.
Could you send it to me again, with ciaran.deignan@xxxxxxxxxxx in copy?

I tried building libpcap with --with-pcap=dlpi. tcpdump seems to work,
but when I run 
   # ethereal -i en0
then the capture menu says
   "There are no network interfaces that can be opened.
    Please check to make sure you have sufficient permission
    to capture packets."

The dlpi driver is loaded:
   # strload -q -d dlpi
   dlpi: yes

I also tried using -i eth0 and -i dlpi with no difference.

The workaround of removing the gktclist.o from libui.a appears to
resolve this question.

Thanks,
Ciaran
