hey, im trying to compile Ethereal on my Freebsd 3.2 stable machine.. I
have glib 1.2.4 and gtk+-1.2.4 compiled and installed (from source) just
fine on my box..
however, when i do ./configure in the ethereal-0.7.3 directory,
it complains about the gtk+ stuff.. its installed just fine and gtk-config
IS in my path..
i assume this is a thing where its made to work with linux, cause linux
uses the /etc/ld.so.conf  whereas I do NOT see that file on my box..
whats the trick to getting it to work on Freebsd? below is the tail end of
the output when i run ./configure

thanks and regards,
Jason

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for flex... /usr/bin/flex
checking to see if we can add '-Wall' to CFLAGS... yes
checking for gtk-config... /usr/local/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong
*** version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if
that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it,
although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
*** If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package
that
*** came with the system with the command
***
***    rpm --erase --nodeps gtk gtk-devel
configure: error: GTK+ distribution not found.
