Greetings. I was the original poster asking this question, I believe.

Seeing the above post, I downloaded the sources of ethereal-0.8.14.tar.gz
dated 20-Nov-2000, but haven't had much luck with them.

What version of the sources started to support the non-GTK+ builds
(and why was yesterday's nightly build missing the "configure" program
 in the tarball?), and what option has to be chosen for configure
exactly?

Should

$ ./configure --disable-tethereal --without-gtk-prefix --without-gtk-exec-prefix --disable-gtktest

do the trick ?

Thanks for any pointers.
bye,Kai
