Did you install the "libpcap" RPM from the RH 6.0 CD (or from their FTP
site)?

If not, did you install the "libpcap" library in some other fashion,
e.g. from source?

In order to have an Ethereal capable of capturing packets, you need the
"libpcap" library; if you just want to read packets captured on other
machines, you can build Ethereal without "libpcap" by running the
"configure" script with "--disable-pcap".
