Thanks David for your reply. I've checked your suggested commands but after
> rpm --rebuild ethereal-0.9.8-1.7.2.src.rpm
it gives the following error:
configure: error: UCD SNMP header files found, but sprint_realloc_objid not found in SNMP library.
error: bad exist status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47473(% build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exist status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47473(% build)
Please guide me how to get rid of these errors.
Thanks

--rebuild: unknown option I dont think this seems to be a valid option since I cannot deploy it neither on my RHEL nor on the SUSE.Please try to check before posting stuff like this.

Still works the same on my rh linux box. Some things have changed quite a bit. Once you found the right command to use you are still dealing with the same old dependency errors.
To clarify this it works on rhl prior to 8.0. After that it was removed completely. Rpmbuild was added back around 7.x and rpm --rebuild was depreciated.
