Ethereal for Mac OS X, how?

Wampiro-UHA · 05-04-2005, 01:29 PM

I want Ethereal for Mac OS X but can't find it.
Is there anyone who can guide me to how I'm gettin' it installed and runned?

Raven · 05-04-2005, 01:32 PM

If I can remember, etherreal can be installed via Fink, and its even easier to install it via the Fink command tool that now comes standard with your Fink downlaod. It should be listed in the software list.

Wampiro-UHA · 05-04-2005, 01:35 PM

I've tried Fink with the FinkCommander-tool, but doesn't seem to be able to install Ethereal.

I've startet FinkCommander and found Ethereal and chosen install. But it doesn't seem to work?

Wampiro-UHA · 05-04-2005, 01:36 PM

But if Fink is the way to get Ethereal I'm gonna try to play with it some more.

If there's somebody who know a direct way to get Ethereal, please post it :-)

Raven · 05-04-2005, 01:38 PM

Do you have X11 installed ? Last time I installed it I could only use it in there.

yellow · 05-04-2005, 01:52 PM

And nothing's changed Rav..

You must open X11 first, and then invoke ethereal, built from fink.
Ethereal is an X11 app, so it cannot be opened from Terminal.

Raven · 05-04-2005, 01:53 PM

Very reassuring... At least I'm not going senile yet !

Wampiro-UHA · 05-04-2005, 03:49 PM

Don't think I've X11 installed. I just formatted so perhabs I've forgot that. Just gonna check and install it if it's missing ;-)

yellow · 05-04-2005, 03:55 PM

If not, pull it off the installer with Pacifist.

During the install of the OS you would have to specifically tell it to install X11, it doesn't do it by default, so if you don't remember doing that, it's probably not isntalled.

Wampiro-UHA · 05-05-2005, 10:44 AM

Where can I download X11, any direct links?

Raven · 05-05-2005, 11:12 AM

X11 is on the installation CD for Mac OS... Go through as if you were doing an upgrade installation, and then choose to do a custom installation. Check mark only X11 which should be at the bottom of the list of programs that can be installed.

Wampiro-UHA · 05-10-2005, 12:07 PM

I've installed X11 but get this error, when I right-click on ethereal in FinkCommander and choose install:

yellow · 05-10-2005, 12:38 PM

I suggest not using a pre-compiled version since there are dependancies that ethereal uses. I would simply try to compile it. I don't use Fink Commander, I stick with the command line, in fink I would simply do:

fink install ethereal

And let it build everything it needs (which is a lot).

BTW: Moving this to X11 forum.

sao · 05-10-2005, 03:21 PM

Wampiro-UHA,

To install from source with Fink, you will need the Xcode Tools installed.

Then you can run as yellow told you above:

fink install ethereal

Btw, are you in Tiger or still using Panther?

.

Wampiro-UHA · 05-10-2005, 04:03 PM

I'm in Tiger of course ;-)
I'm gonna install Xtools and try.

Wampiro-UHA · 05-10-2005, 04:15 PM

I've installed the Xcode Tools now, but get some errors when I try to compile?

yellow · 05-10-2005, 04:25 PM

AFAIK, fink has to be installed AFTER you've installed XCode. Have you removed and reinstalled fink now that XCode is installed?

IN fact, go to Sao's thread on X11 and Tiger, and go to #7, which covers fink and Tiger.

I think it's time you started over from scratch. You got XCode installed, now you should remove and reinstall fink (IMO).

Wampiro-UHA · 05-11-2005, 07:49 AM

I think I've got it installed now :-)
How do I start the Ethereal GUI?
