Yes.  (Gerald, Gilbert - this should probably go into the FAQ; it
appears that, at least for Red Hat, 6.2 was the release that changed the
version of UCD SNMP that came with the system from 4.0.1 to 4.1.1.)

Either install UCD SNMP 4.0[.x] on your system, or download source code
and built from source; UCD SNMP 4.1.1 removed from the library a routine
that Ethereal calls (it changed it to a macro wrapper for another
routine), and the RPMs for Ethereal are built on, I think, a pre-RH 6.2
system with the earlier UCD SNMP (as per the "-v" message), which means
they won't work with systems such as RH 6.2 that have UCD SNMP 4.1.1.
