Google told me that you are probably talking about RHEL 5.
We have a page where we try to track which distro has which version of
gtk+ (and some other libs):
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Glib_Gtk_version_tracking
which seems to indicate the same.

If you can't find anyone building newer versions of the libararies of
a (still maintained) OS needed for Wireshark, you will probably need
to build them yourself :-/

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
