Since performing a cvs update -Pd this morning I am no longer able to build Ethereal. I know that we ran into similar issues before when not using the WinPcap 2.3 libraries but this is what I have been using for a long time now. Was there another change to require the newer 3.x libraries instead? Any ideas why this is occuring? Your help in isolating would be great.
