Perfect fix.  Thank you. I'm running RedHat6.2, with a previous install
of ethereal. 
Just to be verbose for any newbees (like me), 
 I downloaded  ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz from
ftp://ethereal.zing.org/pub/ethereal/
 I changed directory to the location of the downloaded tar ball.  
 I ran gunzip -d ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz
 I ran tar -xvpf ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz which generated a ethereal-0.8.6
directory with the install files.
 I changed to the ethereal-0.8.6 directory, and typed "./configure"
 I ran "make"
 I had to "su root", and then I ran "make install".
 I ran a "whereis ethereal", to find all the instances of ethereal.
 I ran each occurrence with the "-v" option to find the versions.
  The old one is in:  /usr/sbin/ethereal 
  The new one is in: /usr/local/bin/ethereal

If your path lists /usr/sbin/ before /usr/local/bin/ you will get an
error if you try to just run ethereal.
I fixed this by deleting the old version (/usr/sbin/ethereal).
Thanks Guy.
