Hello,

I'm trying to compile Ethereal with -ansi, in order to find missing includes
etc. The system is a suse 9.0. After manually patching the includes of
libpcap, replacing all u_XXX types by unsigned XXX I've run into the problem
that configure always decides that there is e.g. an snprintf function,
although -ansi disables its use in the header files. Consequently, configure
decides its there and compilation fails later on. There are more functions
with this problem. I've tried to set CFLAGS to -ansi before running configure,
but that didn't help.
Ideas anyone?

 ciao
    Jörg
