Guy,
The patch that you sent for the mergecap doesn't work somehow.So I tried
commenting out the mergecap section in the makefile.Now ethereal is
installed.But when I try to run ethereal on command line,it comes up with
a list of GTK-Warnings on my shell like,
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkCTree' to `GtkObject'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtksignal.c: line 725: assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed.
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkCTree' to `GtkObject'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtksignal.c: line 725: assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed.
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkCTree' to `GtkObject'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtksignal.c: line 725: assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed.
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkCTree' to `GtkObject'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtksignal.c: line 725: assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed.
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1425: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed.
But it stil opens the ethereal window.Now, I can start the capture but when
I stop it, all the windows dissappear,and it shows the following message on
my shell
** CRITICAL **: file gtkclist.c: line 2619 (gtk_clist_clear): assertion `GTK_IS_CLIST (clist)' failed.
Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkCTree' to `GtkCList'
** CRITICAL **: file gtkclist.c: line 1248 (gtk_clist_freeze): assertion `GTK_IS_CLIST (clist)' failed.
ksh: 34514 Illegal instruction(coredump)
Thanks,

An error building the release tarball, I suspect; the "doc/Makefile.in"
file wasn't rebuilt, for some reason, after the support for Mergecap was
checked in, so the rules for making the Mergecap documentation weren't
in it. (Note that the "$Id" line in "doc/Makefile.in" says
# $Id: Makefile.am,v 1.10 2001/05/16 21:32:05 ashokn Exp $
rather than
# $Id: Makefile.am,v 1.11 2001/07/12 19:59:40 guy Exp $
even though "doc/Makefile.am" has the latter line; "doc/Makefile.in" was
generated from the previous version of "doc/Makefile.am", which didn't
yet have the Mergecap stuff added to it.)
Apply to "doc/Makefile.in" the attached patch (you will need the "patch"
command; if you don't have it and can't get it, you'll have to apply the
patch by hand).
(This is not in any way AIX-specific; it's a universal bug that applies
on all UNIX-flavored OSes.)
