Hi folks,

I followed the instructions on 
http://www.ethereal.com/development.html#anoncvs exactly, but get an error 
while compiling the sources:

make ../tethereal.1 )
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/hartmut/ASN1-ethereal/CVS/ethereal/doc'
../tethereal -G | /usr/bin/perl ./dfilter2pod.pl ./tethereal.pod.template > 
tethereal.pod
 
** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1770 (proto_register_field_init): assertion 
failed: ((hfinfo->strings == NULL) || ( (hfinfo->type == FT_UINT8) || 
(hfinfo->type
== FT_UINT16) || (hfinfo->type == FT_UINT24) || (hfinfo->type == FT_UINT32) 
|| (hfinfo->type == FT_INT8) || (hfinfo->type == FT_INT16) || (hfinfo->type 
== FT_INT24) || (hfinfo->type == FT_INT32) || (hfinfo->type == FT_BOOLEAN) ))
aborting...

What's up with the source? As before, I get the assertion failed- error, but 
this time I can't locate the code where it happens.

I'm using cvs v.1.10.8 under debian/linux (woody).

Cheers, Hartmut
