Eduard,
assuming that you are a unix newbie, i think you need to make sure
that the ethereal binary/executable is in your $PATH (i gues it is,
because tethereal also gets installed in the same dir, and u said u
are able to use it), still just check. secondly check that ethereal
has execute permissions.
if your installation via rpm went without any error being reported
(assuming you did: rpm -ivh ethereal....rpm), then it's really very
surprising that in this case you can run tethereal but not ethereal.

Hello everyone!
I am a newbie. I'm trying to install ethereal* *via rpm.
While trying to run ethereal got the following error:
[root@localhost /]# ethereal -i wlan0
bash: ethereal: command not found
Here is my configuration:
FC4, KDE, I have the following packages installed:
libcap-1.10-22
gtk+1.2.10-39.i386
gtk+-devel-1.2.10-39.i386
glib-1.2.10-16.i386
glib-devel-1.2.10-16.i386
gtk2-devel-2.6.7-4.i386
elfutils-devel-0.108-1.i386
net-snmp-5.2.1-12.i386.rpm
net-snmp-utils-5.2.1-12.i386
net-snmp-devel-5.2.1-12.i386
Installing ethereal-0.10.11-2.i386 from RPM repository goes without any
error and rpm query command also gives correct output. I tried also to
install source rpm without success as well- the same error!
After all i decided to install from source, here is the error i got,
although i thing it has nothing in common with previous one:

Thank you for response!
I agree with you, probably it's a common mistake for newbie ,but I was
thinking that if it was a permission i would get permission denied error
or something, or am i wrong? Another thing that i can't locate
executable file itself, in wich location I'm supposed to look for it by
default?
Thanks.
