Yes, Google turned that up for me, too. It's woefully out-of-date and
incorrect - for one, automake and autoconf are in ports and the
suggestion about linking automake-x-x to automake is misguided.
That's why I did not point to it. That being said, all this bickering
does not compile ethereal. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing -
you aren't suggesting that Sendmail never was a horrible security hole
on most *nixes?
Ethereal bombed for me too, while linking stuff in a weird way. I'd try
and figure it out, if I actually saw a point, but I'm afraid I don't.
