Actually the error message says you need GTK installed in "/opt/sfw/"; 
I'm not sure where one gets a GTK package that installs in this location 
but the official Solaris 8 packages from ethereal.com need that package. 
 (I've been building my own Solaris 8 packages for years because of 
this--using the GTK packages from sunfreeware.com .  FWIW, the official 
Solaris 9 builds want GTK installed in "/usr/local/".)

I imagine it might work if you make a symbolic link from "/opt/sfw/" to 
"/usr/local/" (never tried it).
