Yes, I have had similar problems in the past with other programs built
from ports, but there always seems to be a way around it as there was
this time.  I rm -rf'ed the directory I was working in and started over
from the 0.9.4 tarball with my glib-conf and gtk-conf commands properly
aliased.  This time it worked, Ethereal was built correctly using the
libpcap in /usr/local/lib and I am happily looking at beacon frames as
we speak.  It's possible that I touched something I didn't mean to touch
in the configure script when I initially tried to change the glib- and
gtk-config commands to glib12- and gtk12-.

Thanks for the help,

Aron
