I have unzipped & untarred the GLIB but there is no make file in that. HOw do I build that?

Run the configure script first - that will create the Makefile.

I unzipped the GTK and ran "./configure" & then "make" which ran fine with few warnings.

when i run "make install" i get this error
cp: cannot create /usr/local/lib/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/#inst.8741#: Permission denied

Do you have write permission on "/usr/local/lib/local/sv/LC_MESSAGES" on the machine on which you're doing the build?

If not, you'll have to do the "make install" as a users with permission to write into that directory.

If the directory containing the Ethereal source is on an NFS server, you might get this error if the NFS server's clock isn't synchronized with the clock on the machine on which you're doing the build.

Do you have write permission on "/usr/local/lib"?
