Dear Ladies and Sirs,

in my enviroment Ethereal 0.9.15 did not build on 
- Solaris 8  and
- Solaris 9 platform.

( Last version I build on Solaris 8 was 0.9.13)
( configure phase of  0.9.13 also completed on Solaris 9 )
( I did not test 0.9.14 )


Ethereal 0.9.15 detailed problem description:

Configure reports that sprint_realloc_objid is not found in -lsnmp
and unresolved symbols kstst_.... were reported

Root cause for thie behaviour is, that on Solaris8 and Solaris 9 
the lib kstat needs to be called with -lkstat

I extracted the problem from configure.log and changed it into stand 
alone files, pls see the attached files and the comments in the .c
file.

If I remove in the attached Makefile the statement -lkstat, the 
problem is reproducable.

Can someone pls. fix the effect in the next Ethereal version ?

With thanks and regards
F.
