Hello Guy Harris,

  Thanks for your information. But I have the run time problem in while executing the etherel & tehereal in HPUX IPF platform.

 

Ethereal 0.9.14 works fine in HPUX IPF. But 0.9.16 has problem while loading plugins.

 

Ethereal 0.9.16 RUNTIME Problem:

I got the output in Windows machine. After I start and close the popup window in Windows, I got this core dumped in IPF.
 
The gdb output:

Finally, I got core dumped.

The only thing that "--with-ssl" does is link with a crypto library
that comes with SSL libraries; it does not affect Ethereal's ability to
dissect SSL (i.e., it doesn't make the SSL dissector more capable).

It's a somewhat poorly named option.  It exists only to cause Ethereal
to be linked with "-lcrypto" in order to make it work with some
versions of the UCD SNMP or Net-SNMP libraries; Ethereal uses those
libraries only as helpers for reading MIB files and using them to
improve the dissection of SNMP, but, as those libraries are full SNMP
libraries, they include a lot of functionality that Ethereal doesn't
use, and some of that functionality requires encryption support, so, to
link with those versions of the SNMP library, you have to link with
-lcrypto *even though Ethereal itself uses none of the functions in
-lcrypto*.

I think it'd be great if we could make that option not be necessary. 
The configure script should see whether you can link with the SNMP
library without "-lcrypto" and, if not, it should automatically find
the crypto library (or let you specify where it is, with a
"--with-lcrypto=" option) and arrange to link Ethereal with it, just as
it does for some *other* libraries that the SNMP library requires
("-lkstat" on Solaris, "-ldes425" on some versions of Red Hat Linux).
