Dear Members
I have got following error message while installing Ethereal on my solaris box.
I have installed all packges neccessry for installation begin with glib, gtk, libcap, flex and bison and every thing went fine - till I came to point when you need to run make after running configure when I try to install ethereal.
Please help meout with this problem.
I appreciate any help from your  side.
Thanx in advance
Harshad
