Yes, please supply the exact error. glib.h includes <glibconfig.h> which
defines G_MAXINT as INT_MAX. glibconfig.h includes limits.h which, as defined
by ANSI, is the file that defines INT_MAX. Something is severely messed up.
What OS and version are you using? What compiler and version are you using?

Are you running this on a 32-bit x86 platform that supports ELF? I assume
you're using Linux, but you need to tell us.
The library requirements are outlined in the file called "INSTALL" in the
Ethereal package.
