Hi,

>From what I read is that you installed a Ethereal RPM. You can add your
_compiled_ plugins to that. If you have to compile your plugin code you
need to install the Ethereal development RPM. That will give you the
source tree in which to add your plugin code and compile it there.

Good luck,
Jaap
