i've perused the achives and don't see anything that's resolved this for me.
i have the latest fink, x11 and ethereal installed on 10.4.5
if i run 'ethereal' via Terminal, i get this error:
(ethereal:25518): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
i saw one posting mentioning running "setenv DISPLAY 0.0" and i did that but
got an error "command not found"... "man setenv" works but it mentions
nothing about 'display' as an option.
You looked a posting by someone using tcsh. If you're using bash, the
correct method is
export DiSPLAY=:0.0
if i run ethereal from an x11 term i get this error:

You didn't specify _how_ you installed ethereal. If you used the
binary install methods the answer is on our wiki:
--and there's a link there from the online FAQ:
