Two problems installing ethereal under Mandrake 8.0:

1) While investigating the SNMP library, the configure script insists
on linking with -lkstat.  This library does not exist under Mandrake 8.0.
(A look at the shell script suggests that the need for this library is
Sun specific.)

2) (Just a heads up - I doubt you want to do anything about this.)
Mandrake lets you install the SNMP development library without the SSL
development library, even though the former references the latter.
The result is that the configure script concludes that sprint_objid
isn't in the libary.
