Ethereal for Mac OS X, how? - Page 3

Wampiro-UHA · 05-12-2005, 05:15 PM

hayne --> What man pages (guess it's manual-pages?).

If you haven't figured it out, then I'm very NEWBEE in the Mac OS X/UNIX enviroment. I've only had my Mac for a short while, and always used Windows. Never tried Linux or something like that. So hope you can bare with me.

It creates font caches that were not created correctly during the Tiger installation.

Each command in the Unix world is expected to have a 'man page' - yes this is short for "manual".
'man' is a command that displays the "man page" for a given command.

You would probably benefit from reading a Unix tutorial (or two). Here's one:

That's absolutely false.

In terminal, you can simply type

export DISPLAY=:0.0

for bash, ksh and zsh users, or

setenv DISPLAY :0.0

for tcsh and csh users

and put that in your startup file and you can use terminal with any X11 application.

You can download a version of ethereal that works as a standard OS X application from here:

Ethernal - 1.1

OK, ok.. I should have said "shouldn't, depending on your skill level".

When I run Ethereal I get the following error. Can someone help?

And does that file exist on your machine? (It does on mine)
How did you install Ethereal? Via Fink?

meaglin · 06-07-2005, 04:52 PM

I just looked and the directory doesn't exist. What do I need to install? I installed Ethereal via FINK

I'm surprised that Fink didn't automatically install all of the dependencies.
Sorry, I don't the best way to fix this. Probably Sao does so maybe he'll step in here.
I would try uninstalling Ethereal and then reinstalling it.
But first, make sure that your Fink installation is up to date.
E.g. do:
fink selfupdate

meaglin,

Please, give us a bit more info, run in Terminal.app and post the result of:

sw_vers
fink -V
fink list -i ethereal

.

here are the results from the commands.

meaglin,

You may try:

fink rebuild gtk+2 gtk+2-shlibs
or/and
fink rebuild gdk-pixbuf gdk-pixbuf-shlibs

.

meaglin · 06-08-2005, 12:42 PM

Same error and directory still doesn't exist.

sao · 06-08-2005, 12:44 PM

meaglin,

How do you start ethereal?

meaglin · 06-08-2005, 12:51 PM

from an xterm session I just type ethereal

yellow · 06-08-2005, 01:35 PM

I doubt it'll have any impact on what you're trying to do, but you should be using sudo, as ethereal needs root access to capture traffic.

sao · 06-08-2005, 03:33 PM

meaglin,

The missing /sw/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders is supposed to be automatically generated from files in gtk+2-shlibs.

So if you have the gtk+2 package installed, try running:

/sw/sbin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders

Let me know...

.

meaglin · 06-08-2005, 04:57 PM

It says no such file or directory

meaglin · 06-08-2005, 05:05 PM

I've just installed GTK+2 using FINK and it now works. Thanks everyone for your help.
