configure: error: GLib2 distribution not found.
Do you have *developer* packages for GLib (GLib, not glibc) and GTK+ installed?
If not, you need to install them, as Ethereal uses GTK+ as its GUI toolkit and GLib for various utility functions (GTK+ also uses GLib), and, in order to compile a program using GLib or GTK+, you need the developer packages for them installed. Those packages should come with FC4, although I don't know what name they'd have.
