Hi every body
I had compiled and installed the ethereal 9.x.x without any problem, but while installing Wireshark 1.0.0 the error below arises : /* gcc -DINET6 "-D_U_=__attribute__((unused))" -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/include -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/libpng12 -o .libs/capinfos capinfos.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lz

Are you configured to use plugins? My guess is not (either intentionally or because your system does not support plugins).

To fix that problem you would need to add "epan/privileges.c" to "editcap_SOURCES" and "capinfos_SOURCES" in Makefile.common.

I checked in a different fix to the trunk (rev 25640) though it would be good to get the above change into the 1.0 trunk.
