Hi-

I have installed X11 and XCode 2.1 for Mac OS 10.4.1, then Fink 0.8.0 and installed Ethereal. No error messages with installs. When I go to run Ethereal from X11 I get this error message and it does not start:

(ethereal:1188): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Can not open pixbuf loader module file '/
sw/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

(ethereal:1188): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image typ
e 'xpm' is not supported

(ethereal:1188): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkpixbuf-render.c: line 293 (gdk_pixbuf_ render_pixmap_and_mask_for_colormap): assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed

** (ethereal:1188): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
  '/sw/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

Abort trap

I do not find a Pango install at /sw/etc/. Thank you in advance for your help.
