I see the same thing here... However, I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but the RPM that gets built from a make rpm-package only has the bare bones binaries, config files and docs and no plugins. I suspect that's because the spec file was never updated. Before I go messing with the spec file, is this the problem? Also, I'm not sure what PLUGINS_DIR would get set to when building the RPM, so I don't know where to put the plugins in the SPEC file.

Thanks,
Anand

"make dist" worked for me from a CVS tree.

If I go to the "epan" directory, and look at INSTALL and COPYING, I see:

        hostname$ file INSTALL COPYING
        INSTALL: symbolic link to /usr/local/share/automake/INSTALL
        COPYING: symbolic link to /usr/local/share/automake/COPYING

so presumably somehow automake made those links at some point.
