Hi Guy,

 My configure script gives the error at the end:

configure: error: change your path to search /usr/xpg4/bin or directory containing GNU sed before /usr/bin (and /bin and /usr/ucb)

Also the root prompt on my Solrais 2.8 has changed to "POUND Symbol" 

ANy idea?

Thx a lot for ur help appreciate it much. I am a newbie at programming and wanna learn Ethereal code. I use it all the time.

ciao
J
