I very rarely have trouble compiling Ethereal CVS on Slackware. configure
then make is usually enough.

The most I ever have to do is 'make distclean', re-run the auto* stuff,
configure and make.

If there is a problem it is usually that a new subdir has been created and
the Makefile doesn't cause the .deps to be built. Why is this done by
configure and not by make?

AIX is another matter altogether :-(
