You probably installed the prepackaged Ethereal RPM; unfortunately, Red
Hat Linux 6.2 is *NOT* 100% binary-compatible with previous releases of
Red Hat Linuxes, the RPMs were built on a previous release, and the
binary incompatibility is in the UCD SNMP library, which Ethereal uses,
and uses in such a fashion as to trip across the binary incompatibility.

You'll have to download Ethereal source and build it; fortunately,
that's fairly easy.
