The pcap.h that comes with OS X 10.3.5 does not include the definition of pcap_addr_t. The version of libpcap listed in package.provided is net-libs/libpcap-0.8. I don't know why pcap_addr_t is missing from /usr/include/pcap.h, since it's present in every libpcap I checked since 0.7.1, but it seems to be missing from the OS X version. This is causing the compile to fail on pcal-util.c: if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include -DINET6 -no-cpp-precomp -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -O -pipe -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -MT pcap-util.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/pcap-util.Tpo" \ -c -o pcap-util.o `test -f 'pcap-util.c' || echo './'`pcap-util.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/pcap-util.Tpo" ".deps/pcap-util.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/pcap-util.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi pcap-util.c: In function `if_info_ip': pcap-util.c:239: error: `pcap_addr_t' undeclared (first use in this function) pcap-util.c:239: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once pcap-util.c:239: error: for each function it appears in.) . . . make[2]: *** [pcap-util.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Installing libpcap to replace the one provided by OS X *might* solve this, but libpcap has its own issues on macos: see bug 61599.

Once I installed libpcap-0.8.3 over the OS X libpcap, ethereal compiled and worked. So the only problem left is getting a libpcap whose pcap.h defines pcap_addr_t -- once that's solved, ethereal compiles on macos.
Invalid now as package gone
