Hello, 
 I'm having trouble with util.c:

Making all in svr4
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.   -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include
-Wall -g -O2 -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include

bash-2.04$ 


specifically, it appears to not understand the struct type ifconf

	struct  ifconf ifc;

The only modificatiosn I have made is that I moved pcap.h and bpf.h
locally into the ethereal-0.8.12 directory (and rewrote the include
statements). 

Any ideas?

Note: I'm attempting this on solaris 7 (version 11/99) on a startfire
(Enterprise 10000)
