[Ethereal-users] Re: Why do I need Glib2 for tethereal

[ronnie sahlberg <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

both tethereal and ethereal use functions from GLIB.   things like
hashtables, memory management and specific types declared in the glib
headers.

use --disable-gtk2   if you want to compile it for GLIB1
