("make" was in some form of double-quote characters, I presume, in the
second paragraph above; you might want to configure your mail software,
or the software you use to compose mail messages, to use ASCII rather
than non-ISO extended character sets, or configure it to ASCIIify
outgoing mail messages.)
A Google search for
"undefined" "error" "twolevel_namespace"
found a bunch of items; it appears rather a lot of pieces of free
software - or, at least, pieces of free software that use run-time
linking - have been tripped up by MacOS X.
Some of them suggest using the "-flat_namespace" flag.
Try:
installing autoconf, automake, and libtool 1.4.2 on your
machine, if they're not already installed - and if you have a
pre-1.4.2 libtool, uninstall it and install 1.4.2 or update it
to 1.4.2;
run "make distclean";
run "./autogen.sh";
rebuild.
It appears that 1.4.2 adds the "-flat_namespace" flag in some cases,
whereas 1.4 doesn't; the "-bundle -undefine suppress" comes, it
appears, from libtool. Ethereal 0.9.2 appears to have been built with
libtool 1.4, from the "ltmain.sh" file.
Note, however, that, unless either
1) Darwin/MacOS X supports the "dlopen()"/"dlsym()" API, or
HP-UX's dynamic loading API, or Win32's dynamic loading API
or
2) the version of GLib you're using has had support for whatever
Darwin/MacOS X's dynamic loading API is
you won't be able to *use* the plugins.
