Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Experience some difficulty installing ethereal in MontaVista Linux

["Teoh, Kok Liang" <kok.liang.teoh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I was trying to install the Ethereal into my computer running on MontaVista Linux 3.1 and some errors popup.

 

I can successfully MAKE (install) the glib-2.6.1.tar.gz and libpcap-0.8.3.tar.gz.  However, when I tried to ./configure the pango-1.8.0.tar.gz file, I received some errors.  Same goes to the gtk+-2.6.1.tar.gz and ethereal-0.10.9.tar.gz.

 

 

These were what I did:-

gzip -dc pango-1.8.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -

cd pango-1.8.0

./configure

configure: error: GLib2 distribution not found.

 

 

There are some recommendations after each error, but I really do not understand them.  Can you please suggest what step I should take?

 

Thanks
