Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] 0.10.4 & 0.10.5 Compile failure on Fedora Core 2

[Craig Bumpstead <cbumpste@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have the following error when trying to compile
0.10.4 & 0.10.5:

rm -f .libs/ethereal.nm .libs/ethereal.nmS
.libs/ethereal.nmT
creating .libs/etherealS.c
(cd .libs && gcc -c -fno-builtin "etherealS.c")

make: *** [all] Error 2

Is this an issue with ld? or the lack of something
with my system?
Can I provide/do anything else to help solve this
problem?
Is it looking for the elf (*.a) library's?

Cheers,
Craig
