  Hi!

I tried to install wireshark 1.12.3 in RHEL 6.5.

I am doing following command.

$./configure --disable-wireshark

I got the following error.

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.16.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: GLib 2.16.0 or later distribution not found.
You probably just need to install the glib2-devel package ("yum install glib2-devel"). RHEL 6 comes with glib 2.26. 


For Glib, I downloaded glib 2.42.1
I followed three command as follows:

  $./configure

   $  make

    $ make install
That should have worked but it may be a question of where it was installed (/usr/local/ ?). I'd suggest doing a "make uninstall" and then installing the glib2-devel package instead.
