Hi list,

It seems that as of revision 41162 (or maybe a few before?), I am no
longer able to completely compile and link the EPAN/dissectors portion
of the codebase under Ubuntu. I suspect that recent modifications to
the MPEG-related dissectors may have caused this, given by the errors
from the linker that I receive:
[...]

Have you tried a "make clean"?

Have you changed libtool versions recently? I note that you have both a "libdissectors_la-packet-mpeg-pat.o" and a "lt2-libdissectors_la-packet-mpeg-pat.o", not sure what that's about.
