Dear Ladies and Sirs,

with Solaris9 and Ethereal 0.10.2, ADNS is not detected by configure.

It is necessary to add a "-lresolv" for the Solaris specific part.

Messages from configure:

configure:15343: gcc -o conftest -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -g
-O2 -Wno-return-type -DFUNCPROTO=15 -I/usr/local/include

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:15349: $? = 1


Interesting and helpful for this kind of problem is the comment in 
configure of adns 1.1:
echo "configure: warning: inet_aton is in libresolv, urgh.  Must use
-lresolv."

Dear Ladies and Sirs,

with Solaris9 and Ethereal 0.10.1, ADNS is not 
detected by configure.

When You follow up with config.log (not attached), You will
see that the ADNS detection sequence had unresolved symbols
due to missing libs.

There were some aton messages due to missing "-lresolv"

Workaround to let the build proceed:

# for GNU tools
export LDFLAGS="-lresolv"

# for Solaris 9 ld
export LD_OPTIONS="-lresolv"

Afer issuing these 2 export commands on shell level, 
configure detected ADNS.

If You have further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
With kindly regards 
F
