Instead of directing this e-mail to one or two people, you should
send your inquiries to one of the mailing lists for Ethereal.

ethereal-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx would be a good choice.

You seem to have your own installation of packages (gtk, glib, and
probably pcap) in /home/navada/utils

It appears you added /home/navada/utils/bin to PATH, and that
you added the appropriate -I flag to CFLAGS.

I'll bet that libpcap.a (or libpcap.so) is in /home/navada/utils/lib,
but that you did not set LDFLAGS appropriately, so that the linker
cannot find libpcap.a. Am I close?

The INSTALL.configure document, which is the standard INSTALL
document that comes with autoconf-packaged distributions,
talks about this environment variable.
