You said you "installed gettext"; does that mean there's a library that
contains "gettext()" (other than "libc"; at least on a Red Hat 6.0
system here, "/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5" doesn't contain
"gettext" or "bindtextdomain")? If so, was Ethereal linked with that
library?

Ethereal doesn't seem to use "gettext()", so I'm not sure why it should
care whether "gettext" was installed.
