    I'm not sure if anyone still reads this forum or not but here goes.  I used to use etherape on older versions of linux and loved it so I wanted to start using it again but I am having a hell of a time trying to install Etherape on SLES 10.  I keep getting error: Package requirements (libglade-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0) were not met.  They and the devel packages are installed but still cannot get etherape installed.
    Thanks for any help!

    To check if you indeed have the correct packages, try
    pkg-config -libs libgnomeui-2.0 libglade-2.0

    If everithing is in order you should see a list of -lsomething, otherwise you don't have the correct development packages.

    Thank-you very much for the quick response which helped out a lot.  That helped me run the configure script and make but once I got to make install I now get the following error:  /bin/sh: scrollkeeper-preinstall: command not found
    make: ***  Error 127
    make: Leaving directory `/Data/Downloads/etherape-0.9.7/doc/C'
    make: ***  Error 1
    make: Leaving directory `/Data/Downloads/etherape-0.9.7/doc'
    make: ***  Error 1
    make: Leaving directory `/Data/Downloads/etherape-0.9.7'
    make: ***  Error 2

    Thanks Again!

    Well never mind I think I may have it.  I installed scrollkeeper and now everything seems to have installed the right way.  As soon as I get home I'll test it out and see if it runs.

    Thanks.

    On make I got fatal error: 'netinet/ether.h' file not found, but there is no netinet folder at all, let alone an ether.h file. ??

    I had got through the ./configure stage after a couple of tries.

    Initially it claimed:
    configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 goocanvas-2.0) were not met, but I already had glib-2.72.3.
    I then installed goocanvas and itstool (after alerted by another try at configure).
    Then the ./configure --with-internal-glib completed without error, although it warned that it was an "unrecognized option".
    checking for library containing glib_check_version... -lglib-2.0

    So, on make there is that fatal error mentioned above.

      Hi, netinet/ether.h is a system include, usually included with the development package of glib (glib-devel or something like that).
      --with-internal-glib is used only if compiling with a personalized glib.
      If configure complains about a missing package, usually it needs a development package, usually with a dev or devel suffix ( for example lib64goocanvas2.0-devel)
