I'm trying to compile Ethereal 0.10.6 in my Suse 9.1 box and ./configure runs well (here's the output) :
The Ethereal package has been configured with the following options.
Build ethereal : yes
Build tethereal : yes
Build capinfo : yes
Build editcap : yes
Build mergecap : yes
Build text2pcap : yes
Build idl2eth : yes
Build randpkt : no
Build dftest : yes

Install setuid : no
Use plugins : yes
Use GTK+ v2 library : yes
Use threads : no
Build profile binaries : no
Use pcap library : yes
Use zlib library : yes
Use pcre library : no
Use kerberos library : no
Use GNU ADNS library : no
Use IPv6 name resolution : yes
Use UCD SNMP/NET-SNMP library : no

but...the problem comes when I try to 'make' the executable:
gcc: /opt/gnome/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /opt/gnome/lib/libglib-2.0.so: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [libwiretap.la] Error 1

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi,

It seems that some libraries are not installed or at least not installed at the expected place. To see if the library is present, do the following:
It should take a long time but you'll know wether the file is present or no. If it's present, do a symlink to correct the error, else install the library.
