Configure uses the glib utility "glib-config --cflags" to find the command line 
arguments to pass to GCC.  On my Solaris 2.6 system, this command returns:

	-I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include

I suspect glib 1.2 is not installed properly on your system, or if it's in a 
non-standard location, you didn't pass that path to Ethereal's configure.

I was able to build ethereal 0.8.19 on solaris 2.6 using only "./configure" and 
"gmake":
