Configure scripts in ethereal-0.9.5 fail due to errors on at leaset
IRIX 6.5 and Solaris 9.

Scripts should be regenerated using a newer version of autoconf such
as autoconf-2.53 to run those successfully.

LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib32 -rpath /usr/local/lib32:/usr/lib32' \
./configure --disable-shared --enable-randpkt --with-ssl --with-ucdsnmp

ex2.

(A header file "/usr/local/include/net/bpf.h" exists.)

% env CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O2 CPPFLGAS=-I/usr/local/include \

./configure --disable-shared --disable-ethereal --enable-randpkt \
--with-ssl --with-ucdsnmp
.....

checking for extraneous pcap header directories... not found
checking for net/bpf.h... no
configure: error: Header file net/bpf.h not found; if you installed \
libpcap from source, did you also do "make install-incl"?
