I did it just the usual way, simply typed: "./autogen.sh" and after 
completing it, "./configure".
The only thing which seemed to be missing was the openssl-devel library. 
After installing it from the Yast2 tool everything went well.

Well, I just tried to compile Ethereal the first time on any Unix *ever*.
So I'm really not the person to tell you if anything is appropriate or not.

I'm just a win32 guy, which is used to get an installer exe which is 
working (and 99.99% it *is* just working, at least today).

So I wanted to report things going wrong on the unix build at the time I 
tried out.
