Guy,
the text in the README indicates that 2,4 is not working:

(GTK+ 2.4 won't work, as it requires Pango 1.4 with fontconfig support,
and Pango 1.4 refuses to handle a fontconfig that pkg-config doesn't
know about, such as the fontconfig in Panther)

I installed it. The following steps were necessary:

0. make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path.
1. Compile / install pkgconfig
2. Compile / install gettext
3. cp /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/* /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
4. Compile / install glib
5. Modify /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gthread-20.pc (to avoid the -pthread warnings)
6. Compile / install pango
7. compile / install atk
8. compile / install gtk using --without-libtiff --without-libpng --without-libjpeg

This resulted in a glib/gtk environment suitable for ethereal deveopment.

Should I update the readme such that we recommend 2.4?

Best regards
Michael

  Log:
  Note that GTK+ 2.4 doesn't work, and indicate why.

Enumerate the dependencies for GLib 2.4/GTK+ 2.4, and indicate that GNU
  gettext is also required, even though it's not in the set of
dependencies on the GTK+ site (after all, the ENTIRE WORLD runs Linux,
  RIGHT?).

  Give a (partial) order for the dependencies.

  Note some issues with building and installing the JPEG and libpng
  libraries.
