I've seen problems with current buildbot builds starting about two days
ago. When installing the windows version of ethereal, the install works
fine. When I try to run it, windows pops up a requester about a missing
libcairo-2.dll (spelling may be slightly wrong). On both systems, that
was the first Ethereal installation ever.
Ideas what went wrong with the recent update of gtk2?

Thanks

libcairo-2.dll seems to be required for GTK2.8. This was fixed in NSIS with 16809 "Modified /Thu Dec 15 03:36:17 2005/" so it should work now.
However, we've committed (just this morning) to use GTK2.6 for now, as the 2.8 version still seems to be a bit experimental. 

GTK 2.6 doesn't use libcairo so this shouldn't be a problem any longer.

Hint: make sure, your config.nmake file is up to date!
