the whole rant from that one that has been ranting against me ... tells a story too.

Hopefully the OP removed everything to do with WireShark and started again using slackbuilds to do so.

You say to install portaudio... nothing else and then tell OP that it should work. How am I twisting your words? I repeated back exactly what you said.

What was the point of post #6? The only thing I quoted you on was that ponce's repo was for -current, which was wrong. The rest of the post was directed at OP and not at you (that's the whole reason I put @OP before I wrote the rest of it). I have no idea why you felt a need to comment on the rest of my post, especially saying that installing portaudio "should" fix OPs problem, when I flat out explained it needed more than that.

I removed information to keep things short... not to try and twist your words around. You seem to forget the posts after that. I quoted that same line in my next reply and stated that simply installing portaudio won't fix OPs problem. Then, as a reply to a completely different, unrelated portion of your post, I then explained why pkgs.net is not recommended. You somehow thought the two were related. You stated that installing one dep won't break the system... which I never said it would. Your comprehension needs some work.

You are guilty of poor comprehension. In my first post, my only thing I directed at you was that ponce's repo was for 14.2 (which would've been easily seen had you just looked at the url). Then you had to go through and try and defend the rest of your previous post, which I did not reference at all. Why did you feel a need to defend it when I didn't reference it at all?

Brevity does not make someone dishonest. I am not trying to twist your words. If you feel I mistook your words, feel free to try and correct it.

This is just laughable that you're the one saying this. I am not a prideful person and I am more than willing to admit my mistakes when they occur (and they do occur -- here's one that happened yesterday). In this case, for some reason your pride was hurt when I said that ponce's repo was for 14.2 and then maybe you felt I was attacking the rest of your post, without me even referencing it.

I have nothing against you... I did not attack your post, I just provided more information to OP based on the information in ponce's repo, which I referenced in my post.

should does not mean shall, period.
look it up.

I was just suggesting a try to see if it could be a quick fix, why because it was saying it did not have portaudio, therefore add it, what is so hard about understanding that one?




not prideful?

Then why are you insisting on continuing this conversation trying to prove what I did as a grave mistake , wrong or whatever it is you're trying to prove?

post 3 and 6 are the only ones that I gave advice on what the OP could do.

Nothing I said said that it WILL or SHALL fix it. I just suggested try giving it what it said it was missing or starting over using Ponce slackbuilds or using source to install wireshark with its deps.

if you want to continue this file a complaint in the local world legal system.

I included "should" as well. That is not twisting your words. I repeated them exactly as you typed. The fact that you took your own words wrong should probably imply that it wasn't the right word to use. "Should" is a lot more implying than "might". You are correct that it isn't as definitive as "will", but it still implies that you fully expect it to fix the problem.

And I didn't mention anything in my initial post about what you wrote. You somehow thought my post explaining what OP had to do was an attack at you, when it had nothing to do with you.

Where did I say what you provided was a grave mistake? Nowhere. However, I did state that just installing portaudio won't fix the problem. That is when your pride kicked in and started this whole ridiculous thing.

What was the point of post #6? You provided the info you felt OP needed in #3. I provided additional info (without attacking your post) in post #4. Why did you feel a need to throw a bunch of extra information in post #6?

And I never said that you said it will or shall fix it. I used the same words you did... "should".

I have no complaint to file. As I said, I have nothing against you. I just want to ensure OP has the proper information to fix their issue.

meanwhile back at the ranch...

Slackware 14.2 32bit - can't run wireshark-2.4.3-i586-1ponce
and the latest replies
what gives

the OP careless who is the pivot man.

Ok, I installed portaudio, but now wireshark wants
Where to get his lib?

you're better starting from the git go. to insure that the build matches your system.

to reference what you need
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...ork/wireshark/
Ponces git hub

to get a quick list of what to remove
and a key word in which ever package you used to install your last package for wireshark. portaudio

EDIT
Read post #36

I have not researched that, but you might want to.

senglory, posts #4 and #5 should already be enough for you to solve: read them carefully and follow the hints there.

don't let other posts confuse you or get you on the wrong path.

That likely means you're missing qt5. qt5 has several other required dependencies (libxkbcommon and libinput, and libinput requires libwacom), however, there's other dependencies you're going to need to install as well. The full list, based on SBo's requirements and ponce's extra info provided is:

However, ponce does not have the libwacom package available, so his libinput may be built without libwacom support. You might try installing all but libwacom and see if it works, if it doesn't you may want to try and build and install libwacom manually.

Once you have installed all of those, wireshark should work.
