Hi , Thanks Jaff , I could successfully build the package.
Again, i tried to build the package with the different Package name.
Now i changed the package name in configure file to Wireshark_Chandra and tried to build the package, then i got the following error:
## Building pkgmap from package prototype file.

## Processing pkginfo file.

pkgmk: ERROR: invalid package abbreviation <Wireshark_Chandra>

I don't think "Wireshark_Chandra" is a valid package name. From the Solaris pkginfo(4) man page:

     PKG   Abbreviation for  the  package  being  installed.  All
           characters  in  the abbreviation must be alphanumeric.
           You can also use the - and + characters in the  abbre-
           viation.   The  first character cannot be numeric, a +
           or a -.

           The abbreviation is limited to a maximum length of  32
           characters.  install, new, and all are reserved abbre-
           viations. It is  customary  to  make  the  first  four
           letters  unique to your company, such as the company's
           stock symbol.

Try a package name without the "_".
