Prior to 10.3 ( 10.2 included )
./configure; make

resulted in a 23 Mb or so binary which could be moved from system to system
and decode packets. I just downloaded and did the same for 10.3 and
"ethereal" is a 5000 byte shell script with a huge path.  Is there a compile
/config option go get the previous behavior. Or a list of all the files
which need to be installed such that I can create an rpm/tar ball for
installing on a couple of dozen systems without a "make install" on each

I tried "configure --without-plugins -enable-static" but got compile errors.
I dont really need static linking anyway.

The release was billed as a security update, but there seems to be more to
it.

thanks
