Hi Anne-Sophie, Many thanks for the hint. I recompiled without ZLIB and now I am able to read PCAP files again!
This seems to be an old and known bug in zlib. I find references to it in ethereal-dev threads of January 2000 (Subject: zlib support issue)... BTW there's a new ZLIB available (1.2.1). I'll try to see whether it fixes the cygwin zlib issues... Regards, Olivier | -----Original Message----- | From: Harnois Anne-Sophie | | Hello, | Did you enable the "with-zlib" option?
