Unable to install ethereal, I get the error:
*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.6.0, but GLIB (2.2.3)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.5.7 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed
*** but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file
*** glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

How do I fix this?

My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set:
# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

#

And Im not sure what i am suppose to put in /etc/ld.so.conf:
# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
#

# locate libglib
/root/glib-2.6.0/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.exp
/root/glib-2.6.0/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.ver
/root/glib-2.6.0/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so.0.600.0

/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so

Got any tips?

Hi,

try:

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/root

and retry the configure step

hi..i

you can modify the library directory by setting the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/user/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for instance if u have installed it in /usr/local/lib ..Do it and try once again

Hi..
I am unable to install Linux on redhat enterprise linux... Got following errors:

rpm -i ethereal-0.8.6-1.i386.rpm
warning: ethereal-0.8.6-1.i386.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID 697ecedd
error: Failed dependencies:
ucd-snmp is needed by ethereal-0.8.6-1
libsnmp.so.0 is needed by ethereal-0.8.6-1

Please help me to get it work ..Thanks..

Hi abhilasha,
The problem from your log seems like mismatch of versions of the
supporting libraries or non availability of particular libraries. You can manually check out the availability of these libraries ucd-snmp and libsnmp.so.0 in your system, you can use either 'slocate' or 'locate' command for finding the corresponding libraries and to ensure that they are present. If found check out whether their version is updated to suit to the ethereal-0.8.6-1.i386.rpm version. Check for the version dependencies and get the corresponding rpms for ucd-snmp and libsnmp.so.0 install it and continue the installation of ethereal-0.8.6-1.i386.rpm. I guess this will do the trick...

@ Abhilasha: Please start your own new thread instead of reviving someone's else's two year old thread. I recommend the Linux - Software forum, as it's the one that most pertains to your question, which is NOT a security issue.
