Ok.. that's what I started with..

So we're back where we started :-S In the previous attempt I
installed glib2-devel which of course is for the development
machine...
Do you have an ELDK version of glib2-devel installed?
So this is what I did in my first attempt:
yum install bison
This is the correct thing to do, unless there's an ELDK *cross-
development* package of Bison (i.e., one that installs a version of
Bison that runs *ON YOUR PC*, *NOT* on the PPC 4xx target).
yum install flex
Same as with Bison.
yum install pkgconfig
This is probably the correct thing to do, for the same reason. The
trick is that pkg-config is a framework for dealing with various
packages, so the question is where it should look for the pkg-config
information for those packages? Should ELDK have a cross-development
version of pkg-config, that looks, by default, for pkg-config
information in a location separate from where the "native" pkg-config
looks, or should it use the "native" pkg-config but with the
appropriate environment variable set to look in the location for the
pkg-config information for the ELDK target versions of the packages?
yum install glib2-devel
This is not useful for cross-development, as it will install a native
version of glib2-devel.
Cross-development is usually harder than native development, as the
issues listed above indicate. You should probably ask the DENX people
for advice on this; the details of how to do cross-building of
Wireshark, or any other program, depends at least as much on the
particular cross-development environment as on the program, and I've
never done cross-development with ELDK, so the DENX people are
probably at least as likely, and probably more likely, to know what
you will need to do to set up a cross-building environment for a GLib-
based application such as TShark.
