I had no problems with installed packages.  I double checked all of those 
and they were okay, but...

I had the remains of a previous Ethereal build lying around.  :)

The libethereal.la file from the previous build (0.10.4) was still in 
/usr/local/lib.  The problem was that I built 0.10.4 under SuSE 8.0.  I 
"upgraded" to 9.1 a month ago.  Seems some files were moved in the 
upgrade.  After deleting the libethereal.la file, everything worked.

Thanks!  I hope that proves helpful to someone else.
