Install GTK+ and GLib shared libraries if you installed an Ethereal
binary.  They have to be installed in the directory where the Ethereal
binary expects them to be; you'd have to ask whoever built the Ethereal
binary where that is.

If you built Ethereal from source, and the GTK+ and GLib shared
libraries aren't in one of the standard system directories and the build
didn't use the "-R" flag when linking Ethereal (gtk-config and
glib-config do not, unfortunately, supply a "-R" flag by default on
Solaris), you will have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the directory
in which the shared libraries reside.
