I just installed ethereal-0.10.12 onto my server-type FreeBSD 5.4 box
and apparently did a poor job.  Ran into the following error trying to
run the app from the command line:

"ethereal:xxxx: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display"

This box does not have gnome or X11 Windows installed yet and I'm
guessing one, or both are necessary.  Thought I would get a warning
during installation.
