Apparently the SuSE 6.3 pcap.h file uses a struct bpf_timeval...

Thx a lot! That was the right tip.

There are some differences between yours and the pcap.h, which
comes with SuSE6.3:

struct pcap_pkthdr {
struct bpf_timeval ts;/* time stamp */
bpf_u_int32 caplen;/* length of portion present */
bpf_u_int32 len;/* length this packet (off wire) */
#ifdef linux
int ifindex;
unsigned short protocol;
unsigned char pkt_type;
#ifndef NO_SMP_DEBUG
unsigned char cpu1, cpu2;
#endif
#endif
};

I solved the compilation-problem. The reason was my stupidity.
Some months ago, I patched and installed the libpcap, but I only
made a silly "make install" and forgot a "make install-incl" so
the SuSE pcap.h was still placed in /usr/include and wasn=B4t
overwritten. :-(

Now after copying the new pcap.h, the compilation of ethereal0.8.2
was successful and the program works fine. :)

Sorry for wasting your time and sorry for my horrible English too!

With best regards from Germany,
Jan!
