Post #5, @ milind.t.patil : Welcome to LQ.
The latest wireshark is version 1.8.4 : Not usable on RHEL 5 ...
RHEL 5 is an old OS (2007), the build prerequisites for new versions of wireshark are not available.
Please use version 1.0.15 : # yum install wireshark
Thanks knudfl for your reply. But i have only Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installed in virtual machine and virtual machine on windows XP. Shall i download setup of version you have suggested from http://pkgs.org/centos-5-rhel-5/cent....i386.rpm.html

1) su <password>
2) rpm -Uvh wireshark-1.0.15-1.el5_6.4.i386.rpm
.. and if some other packages ( dependencies for wireshark )
are missing, you will have to install those too.
