Not necessarily an Ethereal bug - it could just be that you have a
binary package of Ethereal that expects a later version of libz than the
one you have installed.

Is this a binary package of Ethereal, or did you compile it from source?

Do you have a version of the libz library installed on your machine, and
does it contain the routines:

	gzgets()

	gzseek()

	gztell()

	zError()

If you don't have libz, or the libz you have installed doesn't have all
those routines, you will have to install a later version of libz that
contains all those routines - Ethereal cannot use a version of libz that
doesn't have "gzseek()", as it must access the capture file randomly in
order to support clicking on arbitrary frames in the display.

If you compiled Ethereal from source, then libz may contain "gzgets()"
but not "gzseek()"; if so, which version of libz is it, and where did
you get it from?
