I think I've been able to duplicate the problem. Normally, ethereal
compiles fine on the Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 systems where I work, but if I
include packet.h before pcap.h in capture.c, I get the same errors. When
I include sys/types.h, everything starts working again. Could you add
"#include <sys/types.h>" to the beginning of packet.h, and let me know if
it fixes the problem? It looks like I've been a bit sloppy with headers.
BTW, you might want to make sure the output of "gcc -v" matches the
version of Solaris you're running. If it doesn't, compiler errors like
this can sometimes crop up.
