Neither message says what OS is being run, but recall that there are
problems with RedHat and some versions of libpcap. If you are running a
recent RH, be sure to get the correct libpcap from the ethereal ftp
site: ftp.zing.org (possibly:
ftp://ftp.zing.org/pub/ethereal/rpms/libpcap-0.4-16ethereal.i386.rpm
depending on your system).
