I chose "rpm" for the problem type for lack of a better choice, sorry!
I am unable to install ethereal from soure without issuing ./configure --
disable-snmp.  I have been working with the ethereal developers on this 
issue.  They are telling me that it is a readhat snmp installation 
problem.  I have had this problem with fisher, and wolverine, but not with 
redhat 7.  I have since moved to the RPM instllation which is also 
problematic.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Perform wolverine, or fisher install with everything!

1.As root rpm -i ethereal-0.8.15-1.i386.rpm and receive:
Failed dependency
 "libsnmp.so.0 is needed by ethereal-0.8.15-1"

/usr/lib/libsnmp.so.0 is installed on the system and is a symbolic linke 
to /usr/lib/libsnmp-0.4.2.so

2.so then
As root rpm -i ucd-snmp-4.2-4.i386.rpm and receive:
failed dependency:
libbz2.so.0 is needed by ucd-snmp-4.2-4

3.so then
As root rpm -i --nodeps ucd-snmp-4.2-4.i386.rpm and receive:
package ucd-snmp-4.2-4 already installed



Actual Results:  I realy need to be able to install ethereal with snmp 
encrypted support on a redhat machine (newest version).

Expected Results:  If snmp is installed correctly as part of the fisher or 
wolverine complete "everything" install ethereal should install cleanly 
from an RPM or source.  And again the "everthing" redhat 7.0 install 
allows for the ethereal install to complete ok from rpm or source.


I am going to attach some email correcspndence from ethereal and myself:

***************************
first long email
***************************

It's my code to look for SSL. I may not have explained the purpose
particularly well. Doco never has been my strong point.

The patch to the configure process should apply cleanly to the 0.8.15
source, so I'll include it here.

--with-ssl=/path/to/ssl

(ie the dir containing include/ssl and lib/libcrypto.a) is what you need

The problem is that the test for ucd-snmp in the Ethereal ./configure won't
work if ucd-snmp was built with SSL or OpenSSL, but still leaves traces of
"I found ucd-snmp" in the Makefile.

Without my patch you either have to -disable-snmp or somehow add
"-I/path/to/ssl/includes/" to CFLAGS and "-L/path/to/ssl/lib -lcrypto" to
LDFLAGS


BUT.
The line "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 10 07:49 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so.0.4.2
->libsnmp-0.4.2.so" looks strange.

Is this a symlink pointing to itself? If it is you might have to uninstall
ucd-snmp, clean up the dangling symlinks, and reinstall.

It looks as if this version of SNMP requires a crypto library of some
sort.  If it's an SSL library, then the next version of Ethereal will
either automatically look for the SSL library or will require you to
configure with "-with-ssl" on platforms where the SNMP library was built
to require the SSL library.  (I didn't write the SSL checking stuff, and
I don't remember which of those the person who did write it said it
does.)

For now, you will probably have to re-run configure with

--disable-snmp

and then rebuild.  This will cause Ethereal to dissect SNMP but will
cause it *NOT* to attempt to use the UCD SNMP library to more
symbolically dissect SNMP packets.

Mike,

Then I can't see what's wrong.

Two possibilities to get you up and running:
1 Run ./configure including the -with-ssl option in an unpatched source
tree. It might already support it.
2 Delete the duplicate definition macro from acinclude.m4. It should be at
the end.


How recent is your ethereal base code?
Is it possible the patches were already included? Guy sent me a mail saying
it was applied to CVS. From the CVS log it would be in any snapshots less
than a month old
Were there any rejects from the patch?
I would have heard complaints and someone would have removed it from CVS if
my patch caused problems.


If none of the above sort it out for you, please send me copies of
configure.in and acinclude.m4 from your source before and after you have
patched.

now that I performed the patch installation and proper syntax for
the --with-ssl I get:
cd . && aclocal `./aclocal-flags`

aclocal: acinclude.m4: 399: duplicated macro `AC_ETHEREAL_SSL_CHECK'

make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
