Hi,

 I tried to compile Ethereal-0.7.9  for IRIX6.5 and had the following problems:

    * I modified aclocal.m4 (pcap on differen location)
       but autoconf did not  generate a SHELL-Variable in configure.
       Therefore the Makefiles had no substitutions for @SHELL@

       Even more during the compilation-step there was a complaint
       about missing @LEXLIB@

   * Having used some tricks to overcome the above problem I compiled ethereal  and ran 
                       ethereal -i ec0 
      as root where ec0 is my ethernet device.

      Unfortunatelly ethereal complaint about a missing ethernet device

Any suggestions ?

 Thank for help
     Albrecht
