is the ./configure print out and as it states at the bottom its not
going to build ethereal. Any help? Thanks!!

checking for pkg-config... (cached) /bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.9.0)
checking whether GLib supports loadable modules... yes
The configure script found GLib, *presumably including the GLib development package*, but it didn't find GTK+, including *its* development package.
Do you have GTK+ 2.9.0, *including a development package*, installed? If not, you won't be able to build Ethereal, as it uses GTK+. (You'll be able to build Tethereal, and some people only want Tethereal and are building on a machine that doesn't have X11 installed and on which they don't want to install X11, e.g. some networking box, which is why we don't treate a failure to find GTK+ as a configuration-time error.)
