+
+Thanks for all the help.  I pulled the latest today (0.7.3), and after a
+few fix-ups, I got it built.  Here are the tweaks I needed to build it for
+SGI IRIX 6.5 using gcc.
+
+==========
+PROBLEM #1
+==========
+
+   Ethereal doesn't use RPATH (see ld(1) for shared library linking on all
+   platforms that support it (e.g. SGI IRIX, FreeBSD ELF, etc.), just
+   Solaris it appears.  Instead, ethereal recommends use of the
+   LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack which causes all sorts problems.
+
+   On SGI IRIX this is -rpath to the linker, on Solaris -R, on FreeBSD ELF
+   --rpath, etc.
+
+   SOLUTION: Slip in my linker flags when configuring ethereal so it can
+             find libgtk, libgmodule, libsnmp, etc. at run-time without
+             LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
+
+   env LDFLAGS="-rpath $HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3/lib:$HOME/software/glib-1.2.3/lib:/usr/local/lib" configure --prefix=$HOME/software/ethereal-0.7.3 --with-gtk-prefix=$HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3
+
+   BETTER SOLUTION:  Modify configure to support RPATH for more platforms
+                     than Solaris.
+
+==========
+PROBLEM #2
+==========
+
+   __P not defined -- packet-snmp.c fails to build
+   (gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release), SGI IRIX 6.5.5f)
+
+   SOLUTION:  Include gnuc.h -- it defines it

+*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
+*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
+*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong
+*** version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your
+*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
+*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
+*** is required on your system
+***
+*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
+*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+***
+*** If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package that
+*** came with the system with the command
