["McNutt, Justin M." <McNuttJ@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

I've had two problems with Ethereal 0.8.7.

1)  I downloaded the sources are tried to compile them, but the make fails
complaining about packet_socks.c (INT_MAX undeclared).  I can get the exact
error if anyone is interested.

2)  Since I couldn't get the compile working (after three days of hacking) I
downloaded the .tar.gz binaries and installed them.  As root, I get:

/usr/bin/ethereal:  No such file or directory /usr/bin/ethereal

I get this error twice.  The perms are 755 on /usr/bin/ethereal.

Any suggestions?

Other notable information:  'file /usr/bin/ethereal' shows the file to be a
32-bit ELF executable for the 80386, dynamically linked (might I be missing
libraries it needs?).  Running 'ldd /usr/bin/ethereal' fails because it
claims it can't execute the file.

Later...

On the contrary. I see both sides, and I have evaluated both sides,
and I have found that one side is vastly superior to the other. This
may seem ruthless, but that's how engineering works.
