I use Wireshark constantly to diagnose application and network
problems. I have two Mac Pro systems. The one at work is a
MacPro1,1. At home, I have a MacPro3,1.
After upgrading to OS X 10.6.1, I downloaded MacPorts 1.8 and ran
into the problem that everyone seems to have encountered with
residual information in /opt/local/.... I removed all of the
directories used by MacPorts and re-installed the MacPorts package.
That's not a problem but quite normal, a major OS upgrade (eg
10.5-10.6)
requires a rebuild:
<http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration>
Also, you need to delete the old directories to get rid of directories
used by ncurses and the directories used for docbook. If you don't
Wireshark will fail to build.
The problem that I'm encountering involves Wireshark. It built
successfully on both my home and work systems. On the MacPro3,1
system at home Wireshark runs without problems.
On the MacPro1,1 system at work, Wireshark takes anywhere from 30
minutes to an hour to load. It spends an inordinate amount of time
loading dissectors. Once it finishes loading and displays its X
window, it is unusable. No menu is displayed when you click on any
item in the menu bar. The close, minimize, and maximize icons are
not functional. You can't click on the links to open any of the
files listed in the center of the window.
Most likely the pango issue as seen on ticket #21701:
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21701>
Were this the problem, shouldn't both the MacPro1,1 and MacPro3,1
systems behave the same? Both report the RANDR error identified in
the ticket.
On the MacPro3,1 system Wireshark loads immediately and is fully
functional.
On the older MacPro1,1 system, I experience the same problems
identified in the ticket.
