I recently downloaded source code for ethereal 0.9.4 from 
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ (the tar.gz format), and during my 
compilation attempt, I got errors from make about not knowing how to generate
files like tools/lemon/lemon.@OBJEXT@

This was with the configure script included in the distribution.  

The problem seems to be fixed by adding the lines
AC_EXEEXT
AC_OBJEXT
to configure.in and running autoconf.

I do not know if this has been reported previously, but as was a problem in
the source distribution I downloaded within the past couple days am assuming
not.

Though I do not think the following is really relevant, for completeness:
platform is i686 running Linux 2.4.2-2 (RedHat 7.1)
GTK 1.2.9
Autoconf version 2.13

I also would like to express my apreciation for all of you who have developed
ethereal.  I think it is a fine product and frequently recommend it to other
sysadmins.
