I am trying to installl ethereal,
which needs gtk+
which needs pongo
which needs fontconfig
which needs freetype
which I have as the rpm but fontconfig wont pick it up and when I try install it from source it configures but will not make and says:

make[1]: *** [gwin_x11.o] Error 1

make: *** [tttest] Error 2

Has anyone else got this error? How do I fix it?

it's after x11 headers, install xorg-x11-devel or equivalent. i'd wonder why you want to do all this from source... you've probably got gtk installed already... just not the -devel rpm

I have rpm's for gtk+ and gtk+devel
[root@bubba ethereal-0.10.10]# rpm -q gtk+
gtk+-1.2.10-31
[root@bubba ethereal-0.10.10]# rpm -q gtk+-devel
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-31

but ethereal seems like it needs it installed from source so its recognized in pkg-config
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

erm... ok so if we just stop and look at what you have there:

"gtk+-1.2.10-31" vs "checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no"

clearly that's not being satisfied... in actual fact if you do run "rpm -qa | gerp gtk" you'll probably see gtk2 in there anyway.. but as i said before, you're missing the gtk2-devel rpm. You're wrong to think it needs to be installed from source, that's totally incorrect, you just need the -devel rpms.

I have gtk2 and gtk2-devel now, but it still gives me the same error:
[root@bubba nickgi]# rpm -qa | grep gtk
gtk+-1.2.10-31
gtk2-2.2.4-15
gtk2-devel-2.2.4-15

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.6.0)

How do I get pkg-config to pickup gtk2?

ok, now that's a fair enough issue... erm... what happens if you run "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0"? you should have a .pc file for gtk2 in /usr/lib/pkgconfig (or maybe /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig). One possible cause is that it was placed in the wrong path, e.g. ..local/lib.. instead of just ..lib.. but that would imply usage of a non-standard rpm for your distro.

you know you could still easily install etheral from an rpm and avoid this being an issue if you just want to get it working.

How do I run ethereal after installing it via the RPM?

It doesnt seem to be finding the ethereal binary:
[root@business root]# ethereal
bash: ethereal: command not found
[root@business root]# ethereal
bash: ethereal: command not found

The install seems to have worked properly:
[root@business root]# yum install ethereal
