It seems that the +gtk1 libs don't work when linked into a shared library. The alternative +to build Ethereal as one big statically linked binary isn't working +either (and may never have worked on this OS). + +The way out of this situation is to use gtk2 and associated libraries +which is known to work in this constellation: + + GLib 2.2.3 + Pango 1.2.5 + GTK+ 2.2.3 + ATK 1.2.4 + +and the corresponding dependencies. In case you also have gtk1 installed, +you will need to run configure with the "--enable-gtk2" argument. + |
