If it's a version of Windows (there's some Microsoft Transport Neutral
Encapsulation Format - or whatever the heck TNEF stands for - stuff at
the end of your mail, so it looks as if you may have mailed it from
Windows), then you don't need X for GLib and GTK+.

If it's a flavor of UNIX (whether a commercial UNIX or one of the "free
UNIXes" such as {Free,Net,Open}BSD or a Linux distributions), it should
come with X, although it might not have been installed on the machine on
which you're trying to compile Ethereal.
