Hi Craig,

I do QA on AIX (It is not trivial for me to get access to compilers). I
tried http://www.rge.com/pub/systems/aix/bull/aix432/ethereal-0.8.2.0.exe
version of etherial with following result:
> ethereal -h
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ethereal because of the following
errors:
        0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for ethereal because:
        0509-136   Symbol strcmp (number 162) is not exported from
                   dependent module /usr/local/lib/libgmodule.a(shr.o).
        0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
                 'dump -Tv' command.

Any ideas? Should I be using a different version of an lpp, or I have to
start from source?
Thanks.
