Any time you can't get a program to run, a fallback is to do
strace <program>
or
strace <program> 2> /tmp/strace.out
This will display a trace of the program's execution, or store that same
trace in a file. Having a substantial programming will help in reading it,
but a trick that can make it easier is searching from the end of the file
backwards to the last call to "open(" and reading the file forward from
there. The filename referred to in the open system call will frequently be
the source of the problem.
You problems with ethereal might be the fact that you need to run as root to
place a network interface in promiscuous mode...
