hi
I know nothing about wireshark so i wanted to install it on my linux machine and study its functionality but i am not able find the link to the same.. I tried to install the rpms that i got on www.rpm.pbone.net but was not successful..
I have already tried steps in the user guide of wireshark but it keeps on giving dependecies error and i am not getting the rpms it requires on net...
anyone who does knows link and installation steps please do let me know
Thanks

the pbone rpm's look just fine to me. you'd need the equivalent centos packages form there of course...

Download the wireshark .tar.gz file from the wireshark website. Unpack the tarball, and read the INSTALL file. It has instructions (and apparently scripts) to build your own installable .rpm.

why? As conventional as that may be to someone who's used to doing that, there's really no reason to build from source when you can drop in an RPM in a matter of seconds.

which version of centos i am using RedHat EL3 of Linux

3. if you'd actually told us that in the first place i would have said.

the .tar.gz files that i downloaded and tried to install display message on screeen that the rpm is getting installed but actually nothing gets installed... i have installed the windows version of it and its working too but searching for this linux version has taken lot of my time and still no output...

wireshark-gnome-0.99.5-EL3.1.i386 is this the rpm ??? i got it on www.rpm.pbone.net

nothing is getting installed? why do you think that? maybe you've not installed the gtk interface too?

Linuxfan0001 · 04-03-2008, 05:15 AM

in gtk
when i run ./configure i get following error:
configure:error:Package requirements (glib-2.0 >=2.13.5 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >=1.17.3 cairo >=1.2.0 were not met

So far as i can tell, it could just be that your system is somewhat out of date (the rpm is build against higher versions ). Update your system and then try again ?

well that's not an RPM error, thats a source build error, so stop trying to build from source, install the right rpm's and it'll work. simple.

Linuxfan0001 · 04-03-2008, 06:30 AM

thats wat my query is which are the right rpms to install???
regarding this gtk i was just following the steps mentioned in the User guide of wireshark

the .tar.gz files that i downloaded

was not yet posted when i wanted to reply ) and then thoughtlessly submit when coming back to my screen...

I need to use F5 more frequently ...

i am working on Linux vendor redhat EL version 3.4.6 and had downloaded the .src.rpm for the Redhat EL3 version but still the dependencies error occurs...
also i didn't get the rpm file but got src.rpm i.e. the source file on net so i had to try rebuilding the source file...
