Note that you need X11 and the X11 developer headers and libraries

installed in order to build Ethereal.

Michael Tuexen indicated how to successfully build GTK+ 2.4 on Mac OS X
(10.3[.x], at least) - update the directions to give the latest versions
of GLib/Pango/GTK+/ATK and to give instructions on how to make them
build.

 This file tries to help building Ethereal for Mac OS X (Ethereal does
 not work on earlier versions of Mac OS).
 
+In order to build Ethereal, you must have X11 and the X11 developer
+headers and libraries installed; otherwise, you will not be able to
+build or install GTK+, and will only be able to build Tethereal.  The
+X11 and X11 SDK that come with Mac OS X 10.3[.x] are sufficient to build
+and run Ethereal.

 The changes to enable libwiretap and libethereal being built as shared
 libraries have broken shared gtk1 builds on Mac OS X.  The GLib 1.x and

 You will need to do "make install-lib" for the JPEG library to install
 its libraries - "make install" does not suffice.  You will also have to
