-g4-15:/sw/bin root# fink list ethereal etherape
Information about 1831 packages read in 1 seconds.

Close/open Terminal.app and run 'which etherape' again. Also, what's the result of:

echo $SHELL
echo $0
echo $PATH

Don't reinstall anything other than etherape...

I was having the same problem with etherape and thought I was doing something wrong. Not much to do wrong if /sw/bin doesn't have etherape in it!! The .deb file for 10.4 doesn't have anything in /sw/bin, if you dpkg-deb -c etherape 0.9.1-1.... you'll notice nothing is made for the bin directory.

I made fink compile from source and not use the deb package; etherape compiles and runs fine now.

Make sure you remove etherape with a fink remove etherape before proceeding.

Try:

fink --no-use-binary-dist install etherape
{it'll make you download a development gnome lib, but the compile will produce a working install]

You need X11 display set before launching etherape (or ethereal)

Please don't ask the same question in more than one thread.
You already asked this in this other thread (that you started) and so you should continue the discussion there:

I'm running OS Panther 10.3.9. I've used FinkCommander to install ethereal and I have X11 running but I cannot seem to find the ethereal GUI. Where is it installed? I've run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb to update the locate database but when I run the command 'locate ethereal' it just show me what Fink installed in /sw. Do I need to compile ethereal from scratch myself to get the GUI?

You need to start ethereal (sw/bin/ethereal) from an xterm in X11 and the GUI will show itself:

1- Start X11.

2- Start ethereal from an xterm with:

sudo /sw/bin/ethereal

(ethereal needs to be run as root)

Hi to all I am a newbie and was trying to install ethereal on my PowerBook g4 12" running Mac O S x Tiger and finally I was able to make it work just by following these threads and I am really happy about my success on this.

Now I only get a slight error when I type sudo /sw/bin/ethereal but it still works just fine. I would like two things first get rid of the errors and second started from the terminal without having to type the whole path or perhaps use a small app that I had downloaded a long time ago that was supposed to automate the process by starting ethereal thru an icon on the desktop.

The errors I get are these:
Fontconfig warning: line 247: invalid edit binding "same"
Fontconfig warning: line 259: invalid edit binding "same"

Well I have been reading patiently on this thread before I posted and like I said I am a newbie on MAC but I pulled it off. This site and the guys here are great help.
Thanks.

You could just create a shell alias for that command - see this Unix FAQ.

I have my X11 "Applications" menu customized to have an "ethereal" menu item that does the following:

xterm -geometry 40x4 -e "sudo /sw/bin/ethereal"

That second sounds like your shell is not configured for fink. Fink FAQ #5.16 is a good place to start.

Old thread, but it seems to be the most comprehensive one I found on installing Ethereal...

This is 10.3.9 *not* 10.4.x

I did an XCODE 1.5 and Nov 2004 gcc3.3 update. {It's not clear if XCODE includes libraries needed to run binaries or not; hence my installation of it....)

Then I installed Fink 0.7.2

With Fink Commander 0.5.4 I installed {see attachment} ethereal binary (0.10.9-11).

But I do not find a /sw/bin/ethereal to start from X11...

I tried to un-install the binary to buiild it from source, but Fink Commander outsmarts me & tells me I have the best possible...

Next step to take?

rtfm · 07-02-2006, 08:13 PM

Oops; I misread the date on sao's sticky; I thought it predated the thread. I'm reading it now to to see if it answers my problem....

OK, that sticky does not seem to cover my problem; at least not directly...

You need to explain in more detail (lots more words, tell us exactly what you are doing and what you see) what you mean by this.

You do have a /sw folder, right?
And there is a "bin" folder under /sw ?
What is in the "/sw/bin" folder?

Lots of things, but none of which are an 'ethereal' binary. I'm not in front of it, but IIRC, the fink binary is there & some apt stuff. I think there are 50-odd files there.

So.. ethereal is installed, but it's not in the default location. Did you change the defeault locations that fink moves binaries to?

No, did not. Further, a search on 'ethereal' didn't show me anything promising elsewhere....

Well, Spotlight isn't very useful for that if that's what you used.. it has no notion of "/sw".
