When I try to emerge ethereal-0.10.0a, I get the following errors: * Patching ${S}/ltmain.sh... * Could not apply portage.patch! * Please verify that it is not needed. * Cannot apply any patch, running libtoolize... The package continues to emerge and builds successfully. When I run the program as root, I setup and start a packet capture. Once Ethereal tried to disect the first packet, the program immedieatly closes and the following error message appaers on the console: ** ERROR **: file proto.c: line 1153 (proto_tree_add_ipv4): assertion failed: (hfinfo->type == FT_IPv4) aborting... Aborted This problems seems to be directly related to ethereal as tethereal will capture with no problems.

I am experiencing the same behavior (same portage.patch error, crashes after capture is finished). I get a different error message: ** ERROR **: file ftypes.c: line 420 (fvalue_set): assertion failed: (fv->ftype->set_value) aborting...

Oops. What I meant to say was: Could you post the stack trace to the ethereal-dev mailing list? Details here: http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
I've posted to the ethereal-dev list as requested. Note that this bug seems to have been fixed in CVS, but I've asked the list if there is a patch we could use to fix this build until the next release. No replies yet.
Could you try the ebuild over in bug 40660 and see if that cures the problem? It drops the optimisation level to -O and seems to cure a lot of these types of problems.
I changed my CFLGAS and my CXXFLAGS from "-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" to "-march=pentium3 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" and that seems to have done the trick. Ethereal now operates normally.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40660 ***
I have this problem again with ethereal-0.10.4. I have tried to fix the bug setting CFLAGS=-O2 but the configure scripts generates Makefiles whit both -O2 and -O3. I had to manually change the Makefiles before compilation.
