That depends on the operating system you're using, and the CPU on your
machine.

At

	http://www.zing.org/download.html#binaries

is a table of the places we know of where binaries of Ethereal can be
found; however

	1) not all OSes on which Ethereal can be run have packages
	   available for them (although it *might* be the case that the
	   Red Hat RPMs can run under other OSes - although one OS on
	   which they do *not* work is Red Hat 6.2, thanks to a binary
	   compatibility problem with UCD SNMP 4.1.1, which is the one
	   that comes with 6.2);

	2) the packages aren't necessarily available for all the
	   processor types on which the OSes in question run;

	3) the packages that are available may not be packages of the
	   latest version of Ethereal - or even a recent version.
