I don't have access to Solaris 7, but on my Solaris 2.6 box the ifconf struct
(of which ifc is a type)
is defined in /usr/include/net/if.h   That gets #included in util.c if
HAVE_NET_IF_H is defined.

1. Do you have that file?
2. Does it have the definition of ifconf in it?
3. Does your config.h have HAVE_NET_IF_H defined?

Hello,
 I'm having trouble with util.c:

Making all in svr4
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.   -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include
-Wall -g -O2 -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include

specifically, it appears to not understand the struct type ifconf

     struct  ifconf ifc;

The only modificatiosn I have made is that I moved pcap.h and bpf.h
locally into the ethereal-0.8.12 directory (and rewrote the include
statements).

Any ideas?

Note: I'm attempting this on solaris 7 (version 11/99) on a startfire
(Enterprise 10000)
