Hello,
Near as I can tell, my Solaris 10 x86 system needs libpcap-devel, compiled from source, in order for wireshark to build: 

The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options.
                   Build wireshark : no     # :-<.....
                   Build tshark : yes
                   Build capinfos : yes
                   Build editcap : yes
                   Build dumpcap : yes
                   Build mergecap : yes
                   Build text2pcap : yes
                   Build idl2wrs : yes
                   Build randpkt : yes
                   Build dftest : yes

                   Install setuid : no
                   Use plugins : yes
                   Build lua plugin : no
                   Build rtp_player : no
                  Use GTK+ v2 library : yes
                  Use threads : no
                  Build profile binaries : no
                  Use pcap library : yes
                  Use zlib library : yes
                  Use pcre library : no
                  Use kerberos library : no
                  Use GNU ADNS library : no
                  Use GNU crypto library : no
                  Use SSL crypto library : no
                  Use IPv6 name resolution : no
                  Use Net-SNMP library : yes
                  Use gnutls library : yes

I cannot seem to find the source code for "libpcap-devel", only the RPM? Additional "configure" information, which may, or may not(?) be helpful: 

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed. 


Here is some pkginfo output germaine to the above "configure" whinage:

Any help, and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as wireshark is a fascinating program, and I would like the experience of writing one or two plugins-dissectors for it. 

Cheers,

John
