[Fink-beginners] compiling ethereal-0.9.4-2 failed

[Stan S. <phy...@am...>]

Greetings-

Package manager version: 0.9.12
Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs
Dec 2001 Developer's tools

Ran fink selfupdate-cvs; all other installed packages were 
successfully updated prior to the latest attempt to update ethereal.

Previous version (current binary) installed:
Following is the output of ethereal -v (running under Sawfish/Gnome)
---------
** WARNING **: The plugin cosnaming.so has no version symbol

** WARNING **: The plugin gryphon.so has no version symbol

** WARNING **: The plugin mgcp.so has no version symbol
ethereal 0.8.3, with GTK+ 1.2.10, with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.6, 
with libz 1.1.4, without UCD SNMP
---------
The 0.8.3 version appears to work.


I didn't see anything obvious in the code prior to the final output 
(i.e., warnings but no "errors"). Suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks-

Stan
