Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Solaris dfilter/dtd issues

Hi list,

I've been trying to get a running Wireshark 0.99.2 on Solaris 9 for a couple days now; recently I switched to working from SVN and I'm still having issues. They all seem to be related to dtd or dfilter stuff. For example, trying to run SVN 18769 gives:

firebird [~/wireshark/source/]> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=epan/.libs
firebird [~/wireshark/source/]> .libs/tshark -i qfe2

Magic num is 0x00000000, but should be 0xe9b00b9e

Abort (core dumped)

'gdb' shows:

Interestingly, if I build the package and install it, I get a different set of errors, still in dfilter, though:

The dtd errors make me think think maybe I'm running into issues at least related to bug 1010:

Interestingly, if I create a ~/.wireshark/dtds, the error changes back to the first one:

firebird [~/]> tshark -i qfe2

I've poked around with this for a while now and I'm not getting anywhere fast. Anyone have any clues/pointers?

Thanks,
