Hi,
I recently DLed the latest version of your Product. (to be exact ethereal.0.10.12.tar.gz ). i unpacked it but when i tried to execute ./configure command it halts half way through with this error " no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" consequently make command returned NO TARGET message. Just wondering is there any step I've missed or something must be installed before running that command such as a compiler. i guess OS already has the compiler built in. 

Ubuntu does not install the C compiler by default.

To install it:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
I have not tried to build Ethereal on Ubuntu, but chances are very high that there are more things you will have to install to get it to build.
