"It" meaning Etheral, or "it" meaning GTK+?

You need to have GLib and GTK+ installed on your system - and not in
"/usr/local/bin", as that's a directory for programs rather than shared
libraries - as the Ethereal binary you've installed is dynamically
linked with GTK+.

If you downloaded the binary package for Ethereal from The Written Word,
they also have binary packages for GLib:

	ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/free/by-name/glib-1.2.8/

and GTK+:

	ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/free/by-name/gtk+-1.2.8/

which which their Ethereal binary presumably works.
