That's odd, because the only way I can see wherein it wouldn't be 
defined in strptime.o would be if _LIBC were defined - but

	1) I don't see any place where it's defined (although it could be 
defined by an HP-UX header file)

and

	2) if it's not defined, I wouldn't expect it to compile, as it 
includes various headers from the GNU libc source tree, etc. 
(Ethereal's strptime.c came from GNU libc, and I guess it's set up so 
you can build it as a standalone routine, or as part of libc).

Try putting before the comment

	/* This is defined in locale/C-time.c in the GNU libc.  */

in strptime.c a line

	#error "Hey, this isn't libc, what's going on?"

and see if Ethereal compiles.

However, the other mystery is "why didn't Ethereal's configuration 
script find strptime in the C library?", as it appears that, at least 
in some recent version of HP-UX, there *is* a strptime().  What does 
"man strptime" report on your system?
