Thank you for the tip!! I've done the changes in packet.h and the compiler run's without error's and warnings. In the prexious state I had some warnings on different places in the source.
But I had found another problem, sure it could be a problem of our installation. I' ve got a tip from Dennis Edmonds to check the version of libpcap. I searched a little bit in this direction and found out that on some machines of our pool the configure-program of libpcap uses flex and some lex. This is a main difference, because when I'm using flex the libpcap is even produced, but the following compile-runs of other programs are not clean of error's. In the last state of my test's I always used lex.
Thank you for your help
