Yes, but did you install The Written Word's binary packages of Zlib,
GLib, and GTK+? I assume that's the "TWW" in those package names refers
to The Written Word; presumably, if you're installing The Written Word's
binary package of Ethereal, it requires that *their* binary packages of
Zlib, GLib, GTK+, etc. are installed.
If you have installed their binary packages, ask them for help.

I don't know.
If you're installing a binary package of UCD SNMP, you'd have to ask
whoever produced the binary package:
whether you can install the libraries without installing the
agent;
if not, whether installing the agent will just put the binary
for the agent in some directory or will configure the system to
run the agent (or otherwise get in the way of an existing SNMP
agent);
if it configures the system to run the agent, whether you can
install the UCD SNMP package without causing problems for
existing SNMP agents on the machine.
