Thanks João.

I am removing the line causing the error. Any issue in the main engine by removing that? I just want it for local usage. I don't think that problems with the version will cause big impact right? :-)

I think this will fix the build for you:

Can you confirm?

        Hi all,

        I am trying to compile the source from the downloads webpage for
        version 2.4.2 and I get when doing make:

        Making all in epan
        make[2]: Entering directory `epan'
            LN_S     ws_version_info.c
        cp: missing destination file operand after ‘../ws_version_info.c’
        Try 'cp --help' for more information.

        Version 2.5.0 build 997-gdafb529 from the automated builds
        works. Is this a known problem?


    No. It's a bug in the build, thanks for reporting, although why
    2.4.2 doesn't detect a working "ln -s" on your system is hard to guess.

    I would like to use a "Stable release" if possible

        that is why I don't want 2.5.0.

        Regards,
        Juanjo Martin
