Is there a specific reason, why you did not just install
the ethereal package from Ubuntu (0.10.12-2ubuntu3) or
from Debian (0.10.12-4)?

If you really insist on building from source, I strongly
suggest to use the Ubuntu (or Debian) source package and
use 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us' to build proper
packages, which will have the binaries under /usr/bin/.
