Hello everyone!
I am a newbie. I'm trying to install ethereal* *via rpm.
While trying to run ethereal got the following error:
[root@localhost /]# ethereal -i wlan0
bash: ethereal: command not found

Here is my configuration:
FC4, KDE, I have the following packages installed:
libcap-1.10-22
gtk+1.2.10-39.i386
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-39.i386
glib-1.2.10-16.i386
glib-devel-1.2.10-16.i386
gtk2-devel-2.6.7-4.i386
elfutils-devel-0.108-1.i386
net-snmp-5.2.1-12.i386.rpm
net-snmp-utils-5.2.1-12.i386
net-snmp-devel-5.2.1-12.i386
Installing ethereal-0.10.11-2.i386 from RPM repository goes without any error and rpm query command also gives correct output. I tried also to install source rpm without success as well- the same error!

After all i decided to install from source, here is the error i got, although i thing it has nothing in common with previous one:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/ethereal-0.10.12'
