Hi guys,

Trying to compile ethereal 0.8.10 on a Red Hat Linux machine, uname -a
says: 

Linux oreo 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:25:54 EDT 1999 i586 unknown

I downloaded libpcap from the berkeley labs and installed it with no
problems.

configure ran just fine.

when i try to do a `make`, i get the following:

[wav@oreo ethereal-0.8.10]$ make
make  all-recursive
