Further questions on making wireshark work
Hi, Many thanks to Eric for pointing me in the correct direction with Wireshark and Ethereal. Interestingly, I couldn't find the directory (or the port) for wireshark on my system but did find the references to it on www.freshports.org. So, I downloaded the pre-compiled package for wireshark from freebsd.org and installed wireshark that way. Now, when I try to start the program, I get the following error message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libnetsnmp.so.10 not found, required by wireshark I know that this error is coming from the linker. However, I'm not sure how to fix it because I checked and the net-snmp port is loaded on my system. How do I get this shared object so that I can use wireshark? By the way, I didn't do a force install even if some dependencies are absent. I simply did pkg_add wireshare-xxx. I actually had to install a few extra packages that were lacking on my system for the pkg_add to work.

Re: Further questions on making wireshark work
I can't offer feedback on any of the questions. However, I see wireshark in the ports tree here: /usr/ports/net/wireshark Yes, that's where it's supposed to be. It's a real curiosity that I don't have it even after doing a cvsup.

Thanks, andy Try cvsuping your ports tree if wireshark isn't located at: /usr/ports/net/wireshark I would try that before anything else. Thats because trying to deal with packages after I've updated everything else usually turns out to be far more keystrokes than 'make install clean'. :) HTH. WizLayer -- Life is better with a BSD.
