That is close to what I do on Slackware 8.0 (apart from me using
/opt/ethereal instead of /opt/gnome and therefor having to add an entry to
/etc/profile.d) and it works perfectly.

Did you previously run configure with different options, and not run "make
distclean" before re-running with the options you listed? configure will use
the cached value for lots of things, even if you re-specify them on the
command line.

root@darkstar:~# ls -l /opt/gnome/bin/ethereal
/bin/ls: /opt/gnome/bin/ethereal: No such file or directory

it is in the search path.

may be this could be the problem, but then why it goes to the /usr/bin in
the first place?
