The subject pretty much describes the problem. I fixed it by simply symlinking /usr/share/ettercap -> /etc/ettercap . Thanks!

thanks for your report, i've fixed it a little differently than you, but the result should be the same. config files now live in /etc/ettercap
oh .. forgot to add, the fix is now in 0.6.10-r1
