Wireshark · Ethereal-users: RE: [Ethereal-users] Error making 0.9.6 on Solaris 2.6

["Morgan, Chip E." <Chip.Morgan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jörg,
   Thanks for pointing these things out for me (and sorry that you had
to...). I've installed GTK+ 1.2.10 and GLib 1.2.10, but am still getting
Glib errors in the Ethereal configure output. I'm confused about why the
configure program first says that Glib is there, but then says that it isn't
(or at least can't use it). I verified that the program that configure
pointed to returned "good" info.

Thanks,
   Chip

You aren't reading the output of configure. Clearly hidden in the midst
of it, you can find the following passage:

Without having found the above, the message below may have been a surprise:

> wtap-int.h:30: glib.h: No such file or directory

What's interesting though is the fact, that it is talking about "(cached)".
Please remove all three instances of config.cache (to be found in ., epan
and wiretap) and run configure again. Does this get you any further?

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
