Alright, I got wireshark 1.2.0pre1 up and running on my Ubuntu 9.04 VM! It is working properly. I did apt-get install on the wireshark-common and wireshark-dev packages, then compiled and built GTK+-2.16.2 from source, then compiled and built wireshark 1.2.0pre1 from source. I tried doing this on my system (Kubuntu 9.04). I did apt-get install on the wireshark-common and wireshark-dev packages, then compiled and built GTK+-2.16.2 from source. That all ran without any hitches. Then, when I run ./configure on the wireshark source, BAM! Error. pkg-config is returning my GTK+ version as 2.16.2, which is the code I built from, but the configure script says it found GTK+2.16.1 and refuses to proceed. <error> checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0' returned 2.16.2, but GTK+ (2.16.1) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GTK+. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: GTK+ 2.4 or later isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled </error> I do not know what to do about these environment variables the error message is telling me about, and what I should set them to. I also tried "apt-get remove gtk2-engines", which was the only gtk2 package I had manually installed, (during a previous attempt at building). Even then, same error. I also have a number of applications installed, like firefox 3.0 and OpenOffice 3.0, which use various libgtk* packages (libgtk2.0-0, libgtk2.0-bin, libgtk2.0-common, libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a and libgtkspell0). I don't think they are the cause of the problem, but could you please confirm it for me? Anirudh R
