Thanks, I tried with rpms rather than compiling and it worked.

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.
