Recently, to test a network software I need to use OS X on a MacBook Pro2,1, which runs OS X 10.6.6, has two GB RAM, 2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Due CPU, and 160GB HD. The MacBook is always updated via Apple's software update, and I have installed the latest XCode just a few days ago from Apple's developer site. I have been using UNIX/Linux for a few years (although relatively new to OS X, just a couple of weeks), and like to use the following two tools:Wireshark (formally ethereal)Etherape So, I wanted to get both on this MacBook Pro. As preparation, I installed the MacPorts installer per http://www.macports.org/install.php. I reviewed some other associated projects, and decided to install XQuartz 2.6.0 too. See below xdpyinfo output: name of display: /tmp/launch-T3bXXB/org.macosforge.xquartz:0version number: 11.0vendor string: The X.Org Foundationvendor release number: 10903000X.Org version: 1.9.3[...] It works fine. When I launch a xterm from Terminal.app, the XQuartz icon (rather than the white X box from Apple) appears on the dock automatically. Getting 1. to work took only a bit of fiddling. I first downloaded Wireshark_1.4.4_inel_64.dmg from http://wireshark.org/download.html, and did the /Library/StartupItems adjustments, including editing the /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF/ChmodBPF shell script so that I (rather than the 'root') can run it. This version, other than shows an information window with an ( ok ) button, doesn't do anything. So, I immediately did a sudo port install wireshark. This one works OOTB. Moving on to 2, it has many dependencies, so downloading all sources, and building took a long time. Once done, in a xterm, I did sudo etherape to test, and promptly got the following: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. And, a [ Details ] button. Clicking on it, there is a message: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.

According to htop (which I installed via sudo port install htop), at this time, I had 891/2048MB. So, that assertion is unlikely to be true. I also have two dbus sessions (one launched with sudo, one under my own user id): 263 52 1 0 0:00.01 ?? 0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork 501 250 225 0 0:00.00 ?? 0:00.00 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --session The Etherape windows just sits there, with a dark display not showing anything. Futhermore, clicking on its Help (Cntl-H), no help info appears either. Although About does show it's Etherape 0.9.9. Under Capture -> Interfaces, I do see four interfaces, en0, fw1, en1, and lo0. The installation seems to be ok. $ port info etherapeetherape @0.9.9, Revision 1 (net)Variants: universal Description: EtherApe is a graphical network monitor for Unix modeled after etherman. Featuring link layer, ip and TCP modes, it displays network activity graphically. Hosts and links change in size with traffic. Color coded protocols display. It supports Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, ISDN, PPP and SLIP devices. It can filter traffic to be shown, and can read traffic from a file as well as live from the network.Homepage: http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ Build Dependencies: gnome-doc-utilsLibrary Dependencies:
