i have no issues when i tried to run on windows but i dont really want to switch my server to windows even until the last resort. Any advice or help is deeply appreciated.

Thank you in advance

well you have dependencies... install them.

In actual fact, redhat comes with wireshark, I wouldn't recommend going and getting it yourself unless that are fixes / features in the very newest version you need. just run "yum install wireshark-gnome" instead (assuming you're using rhel5) if it's rhel4 or earlier, install from the installation media.
