To which manual are you referring?
There's an Ethereal user's guide at
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/user-guide/
It has a chapter "Building and Installing Ethereal", but it doesn't
specially address Solaris - the sections it has that would apply to
Solaris are
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/user-guide/x820.html
"Installing the binaries under UNIX", which just says "use whatever
mechanism your OS provides", and
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/user-guide/x783.html
"Building from Source under UNIX", which gives instructions on
uncompressing and tarring, followed by a step saying that you should
"Configure your source so it will build correctly for your version of
UNIX" by running the "configure" command in the directory that you
extracted.
If what you downloaded was a binary, such as the
"ethereal-0.8.19.pkgadd.tar.Z" binary from The Written Word, you should
use "pkgadd" to install it. See, for example, the "INSTALL.pdf" file
available from
ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/INSTALL.pdf
if you downloaded it from The Written Word.
If what you downloaded was the Ethereal source:
It will have been unpacked into an "ethereal-0.8.20" directory
(if not, you either didn't download the source, or downloaded
source to an earlier version, such as the 0.8.19 to which the
manual currently refers - the installation instructions are the
same for 0.8.20).
In that directory there will be a file called "configure"; it
contains a shell script that will configure the source to build
on the machine your on (or fail, if it can't do so). Run that
shell script as described in step 3 of the "Builing from Source
under UNIX" page.
Then follow the next two steps.
