I cant send to wireshark-bugs, I have to have an account to enter a bug
on the website, which I dont feel like doing, so here is the problem
description as suggested by the bounce email from wireshark-bugs.
pcap_parse() is only built if bison is present, while this makes sense
given how its generated, I do not know how many would know that. If you
do not make this and the program linking to it doesnt define
pcap_parse() (wireshark for example doesnt, nor does it in its configure
check scripts) then it will fail with an unresolved symbol error.
I would suggest that it either print a big unmissable warning about how
the library wont work properly with many apps or it enforce that bison
is there during the configure stage.
