I just did a yum install glib2... Didn't work!
That probably installed GLib for use on the machine on which you ran
yum, which is presumably your development machine, not the PPC440
embedded Linux machine.
The problem is that you want to cross-compile a program using GLib
(TShark or dumpcap) on that machine, with the target being not the
machine on which you're compiling it (an x86 machine), but the
embedded machine in question (a PPC machine).
This means you'll need to install, on your development machine, a
version of GLib configured and built for your PPC440 embedded Linux
machine. It would presumably be installed somewhere other than /usr/
lib or /usr/local/lib, so that it doesn't overwrite the version on
your system.
