Presumably you mean "sys/socket.h".
Please check the "config.log" file to see why it failed to do so;
without knowing that, there's nothing we can do to fix it.

libpcap, not GTK+.

You probably downloaded the latest CVS snapshot from tcpdump.org, which
is the only version that doesn't have an "install-incl" target. We'll
update the INSTALL file to note that you *might* not have to use
"install-incl".

It never happened for me on any of the platforms on which I've built
Ethereal; perhaps there's some Irix peculiarity causing it, which would
be debuggable only by those with Irix available (of which I'm not one).
