hi
i just install wireshark through yum,it successfully download and install it but i can't find it under internet/application menu,and also when i type wireshark in terminal nothing happen,sounds like it has never been installed,

Code:

[majid@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa|grep wireshark
wireshark-1.2.11-1.fc13.i686

any idea!
thanks in advance

Where did it install to, what happens if you try to execute it
using its full path (as shonw by the command below)?

Code:

rpm -ql wireshark-1.2.11-1.fc13.i686

Sometimes you have to log out/ log in for stuff to show up in the menu. On my c5.5 install it shows up under Applications->Internet. You did install the wireshark-gnome package too?
