Hi,

 thanks for your reply:

Autoconf-problem/Ethereal device-problem on IRIX6.5:

  I'm using Autoconf version 2.12
  tcpdump works fine and I compiled ethereal with the latest
  release of libpcap (tcpdump was compiled with an older version).

  Ethereal complaints no ethernet device or insufficient permissions
  even I'm running ethereal as root.


  If I use the configure script thats within the source code package
  of ethereal there are no complaints about @LEXLIB@. But I have
  to copy the pcap-includes to the places where the ethereal-configure
  expects them to be.

  Where is there an entry like
     AC_SUBS(SHELL)
     SHELL=/bin/sh
  in ethereal-configure.in /ethereal-aclocal.m4 ?

  The linux autoconf e.g does not automatically generate a subsition
  for @SHELL@ too. So I guess it's not an autoconf-irix-problem.


Thanks for your help !
   Albrecht
