Probably because it didn't find the developer package of GTK+.  Is GTK+ 
installed?  If so, is the GTK+ developer package - perhaps called 
something such as "gtk-devel" - installed?

Try downloading the latest SVN tarball - with it, the configure script 
fails immediately if GTK+ isn't found, rather than silently disabling 
Wireshark.

A lot of the warnings come from the output of our tool to turn an ASN.1 
specification for a protocol (and some additional information) into a 
dissector; for some reason, for some protocols a lot of unused functions 
are generated.
