[Simh] simh with ethernet on solaris 8

[Mark Pizzolato]

It works under solaris.  However, you need to install
a recent version of libpcap.  The following recipie
worked for me:

mkdir {someworkingdirectory}
cd {someworkingdirectory)
wget
http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-0.7.2.tar-gz
gzip -dc libpcap-0.7.2.tar.gz | tar xzf -
cd libpcap-0.7.2
./configure
make
su root
make install

Note:  I did this before libpcap 0.8.1 was released,
but that should work as well.

Then try building simh as you previously did.

Good Luck.
