I just did an update with the software manager (update with 39 files) all 
of them installed correctly......no errors. 
 
I then on the command line su'd to root and typed urpmi ethereal and then 
the packages installed. 
 
I then try to run tethereal on the command line and this is what I get: 
 
[root@lateste]# tethereal 
tethereal: Symbol `pcap_version' has different size in shared object, consider 
re-linking

- I don't much care for the "re-link" just wondering what the solution is. 
If I try ethereal by itself on the command line a gui does appear but the 
command line shows these errors. 
[root@lateste]# ethereal

I'm just wondering if someone can show me how to fix these errors, or if 
someone used ethereal before. 
 
How can I build it from source in mandrake, or maybe use the rpm utility. 
Still kind of new sorry

The other problem is that I try to run it in my desktop and it only shows me a 
permissions error. 
 
Sorry clueless, but from the readings I like your product.
