By the way, i just realized this when compiling editcap:
monster ethereal-0.10.14-SVN-17642 # make editcap
/usr/bin/perl ./make-version.pl .
Version configuration file version.conf not found. Using defaults.
This is not a SVN build.
svnversion.h has been updated.
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include -DDEBUG -ggdb -DINET6 -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -Wpointer-arith -W -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -MT editcap.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/editcap.Tpo" -c -o editcap.o editcap.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/editcap.Tpo" ".deps/editcap.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/editcap.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
