Hello Richard and thanks for anyone else who offered me advice.
I don't have the configure command on my PC. Do you have man pages for this command and also do you know where I might download it?

And failing all the help you've been given so far, use the source. I
failed to get the RPM working in my MDK9.0, so I downloaded the source
for all the libraries and Ethereal and built them. I was amazed at how
simple it was, after having to fiddle with the configuration files under
Windows. Every package is the same; you just use three commands:
"configure", "make" and then, as root, "make install".
It's a nice feeling to build from source, and Ethereal, at least on
MDK9.0, appears to be a good one to start out with.
BTW: Knowing the little I do about MDK9.0, my guess would be that the
RPM loads into /usr/bin. The source install goes into /usr/local/bin.
