I'm not familiar with the HP-UX packaging, but it sounds like
either the glib or the ethereal package has incorrect dependencies, and
not that you have something installed incorrectly.
It sounds like the ethereal package, which is old, since the current
version of Ethereal is 0.7.7, was made at a time when the glib
package (or possible a glib-devel package???) provided glib.glib-SHLIBS.
Now glib only provides glib.glib-RUN. You might try to find who
packaged ethereal for HPUX and see if they can't update the package,
with newer source code and newer dependencies.
Also, if you have a compiler installed, you could compile from source.
I'm copying this to the ethereal-users and ethereal-dev mailing lists
in case someone knows the answer to you question.
