First, thank you for your help. ;) I really need it.                  
I use Mandrake 7.0, I've installed flex, bison, and python            
in /usr/bin as you told me.                                           
Glib.h is in /usr/include/glib.h.                                     
I'm now able to build:                                                
	-dfilter-grammar.y                                                   
	-dfilter-scanner.l                                                   
	-wiretap/ascend-grammar.y                                            
	-wiretap/ascend-scanner.l                                            
	-make-reg-dotc, packet*.c                                            
	-ncp2222.py                                                          
But I still have an error when I comeback under windows:              
                                                                      
                                                                      
"mkstemp.c                                                            
        rc  /r image\ethereal                                         
 NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make                    
'wiretap\libwtap.lib'                                                 
 Stop."                                                               
                                                                      
So I guess I should compile it complitly under Linux first.           
                                                                      
I've got a few questions about it:                                    
	-I did not understand:"you should just be able to check the source   
out of CVS"                                                           
	-When I type:"./autogen.sh" it tells me that there is no such        
file.It's the                                                         
	same for "make", and it tells me that there is nothing to do for     
	"install".                                                           
                                                                      
Thanks for your help.                                                 
                                                                      
Guillaume                                                             
                                                                      
P.S: I did not include a file containing a trace of the build process 
because I wrote all the errors I had.
