Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Compilation problems under gcc 3.0/Solaris 2.8/SPARC
Dear Ethereal Community,
First, my thanks to Guy Harris of this list for correctly, swiftly
(and tactfully! ;^) pointing out that we must not be getting the right
zlib library (there turned out to be *three* on our system!). We sorted
that out, and now the configure step decides to build using zlib compression.
However, our compilation problems remain. The make proceeds smoothly up
the point where it creates libethereal.a, then all h*** breaks loose with
multiple error messages of the type appearing in the heavily edited output,
appended below. We are using gcc 3.0 under Solaris 2.8 on SPARC hardware.
Any ideas? Has anyone succeeded in building ethereal 0.9.0 using this
combination?
Thanks and Best Regards, Rick Rodgers
