From: Colin B. on 15 Dec 2008 18:00 Hey all. Feeling a bit of frustration here. A while ago, I wanted to use ethereal to track some network conversations, and discovered that it was renamed (and upgraded) "wireshark." Has anyone looked at the dependencies and sub-dependencies? WS1.0.4 required TWENTY-SIX packages, mostly specific versions! After tracking down every package, making sure the versions all matched up, I finally got it to a point where... ....it doesn't run unless I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (gag!) If I set that then it runs, with errors, for a few minutes before crashing. Today I downloaded Wireshark 1.0.5. It requires two _more_ packages. One of those packages (adns) chokes on my system because of a missing library; ld.so.1: wireshark: fatal: libnsl.so.1: version `SUNW_1.9.1' not found (required by file /usr/local/lib/libadns.so) Supposedly this came out in Solaris 10 U5, so that means that I have to UPGRADE my machine (not just patch, but upgrade) no more than six months after a new release is out. I'd go back to ethereal, but it requires GTK 1.2, and wireshark needs GTK 2.1. Right now, I'm running wireshark 1.0.4, and it's crashing on me every five minutes. I'm about to uninstall it and go back to reading raw output from snoop, because it's less painful. When did Solaris 3rd party tools get taken over by Linuxisms like this? Colin

Ethereal (so an older version) ships with the companion DVD for 10, and seems to work fine.

I'm using ethereal/wireshark to parse through the output from snoop. It makes it much easier to follow a conversation on a heavily-loaded server. It's not strictly necessary, but it's so much easier.

(gag!) have you tried the wireshark packages from blastwave or opencsw? perhaps not the latest versions but probably better than a non-working one.
