Unfortunately, the messages from GLib 1.2[.x]'s autoconfig/automake macros
were written before GLib 2.x existed, so instead of saying

    checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0 and < 2.0

they say

    checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0

I.e., it's not checking for any GLib 1.2.0 or later, including 2.x, it's
checking for 1.2[.x] - and if all it sees is 2.x, it'll fail.  (The same
applies to the GTK+ macros.)

If you have 2.x installed, either

    1) run configure with the "--enable-gtk2" option

or

    2) try building Ethereal 0.10.5, which defaults to GTK+/GLib 2.x.

It appears to think you have 2.2.3 installed, not 2.4.0.

Perhaps your version of Mandrake comes with GLib (and perhaps GTK+) 2.2.3,
and you then installed GLib 2.4.0.

If so, that might cause some configure scripts to fail.  Unfortunately, I
can't help you with that; having multiple different versions of software
installed can often cause configure scripts to get very confused.
