Re: how do I compile/install a plugin?

I don't believe that plugins have to be disabled on Mac OS X in order for 
ethereal to compile on that platform. You can try after all.
Otherwise, try "make install" => It should create the *.so and *.la file in 
/usr/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0 then you just have to remove the 
directory and copy these files into /opt/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.99.0 
b/c as you want.
