Installed/compiled Fink fine.
Installed/compiled ethereal fine (did sudo fink install ethereal), its dependencies took care of X11, BUNCH of other stuff (took all the defaults). No errors.
I know i'm missing something, but how do i actually RUN ethereal?
Tried 'ethereal' at the command prompt. That didn't work:
Eric-Lechts-Computer:/ elecht$ ethereal
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Eric-Lechts-Computer:/ elecht$
startx (I tried...) wasn't much more helpful:
Eric-Lechts-Computer:/usr elecht$ startx
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 49: syntax error near unexpected token `'''
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 49: ` XCOMM '' required to prevent cpp from treating "/*" as a C comment.'
I can't find anything in documentation that really says how to run something once installed a la fink....
I know I must be missing something here....
Anyone: what must i need do to run ethereal? Welcome to all advice/observation/links to documents I may have missed...i've been banging my head against the metaphysical wall for 2 days now....
regards, and thanks,
Eric Lecht
