Hello,

I have problems compiling ethereal 0.7.2 on my linux-machine.
I installed the gtk+ 1.2.3 and gtk+-devel 1.2.3 on this machine.
Although I get an error on executing the script configure:

checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GTK since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the gtk-config script: /usr/bin/gtk-config
configure: error: GTK+ distribution not found.

The gtk-libs are in /usr/lib, and gtk-config says that the libraries
gtk and gthread are installed. And in /etc/ld.so.conf there also is
/usr/lib.

Here's an extract of ethereal-0.7.2/config.log:

configure:1529: checking for gtk-config
configure:1564: checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0
configure:1665: gcc -o conftest -Wall -g -O2 -Iwiretap -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/$
/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 1587 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

Does anybody know what I did wrong? Thanks very much for your help.

Kind regards
                Bjoern
