Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark 0.99.5 "make rpm-package" problems on RHEL3

While attempting to build a Wireshark .rpm on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux
system (Taroon, update 8), I ran into 2 problems:

1) epan/crypt/Makefile.common does not get copied to
packaging/rpm/BUILD/wireshark-0.99.5/epan/crypt/.

To quickly circumvent that problem, I manually copied the file once the
directory was created.  A hack, I know, but good enough for now ...
except I also ran into this next problem, which I don't know how to
remedy:

2) Ran into an "undefined reference" problem.  Here's the relevant
output:

I have successfully built 0.99.5 rpm's for systems running Fedora Core 4
and Fedora Core 6, so I'm not sure why the Makefile.common isn't getting
copied or the "undefined reference" is happening on this system.  Does
anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Maynard
