Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [ethereal-users] Build problems with ethereal-0.8.11

[Jens Kerle <jkerle@xxxxxx>]

hi,
-lXext not found could be missing some X11 libs. On RedHat (6.1) this is
in XFree86-libs

[root@abyss mail]# rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3 
XFree86-libs-3.3.5-3


have fun, Jens
