[Ethereal-users] Ethereal binary for Solaris 5.8

[Chet Vora Public Account <chetanvora@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am having problems installing ethereal for a Solaris 5.8 system having 
libgtk+ 1.2.10 in /usr/local/lib. pkgadd fails and complains about not 
being able to find gtk+ in /opt/sfw/bin. I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to 
point to the GTK install dir. As a crude hack attempt, I even created 
/opt/sfw/bin  and copied libgtk* to it. No avail.

After searching for earlier posts on this list, it seems like this is a 
known issue and the only way out is to either "install" GTK in 
/opt/sfw/bin or to compile ethereal from source (and make sure it finds 
the right GTK library using LFLAGS etc). Is this a correct assessment?

Thanks in advance for your help! Would be glad to hear of any workaround 
anyone successfully  tried.
