Hi,

I came across this mailto in the User's Guide.

I just got the sources wireshark-0.99.8 and installed it on my machine 
(SuSe 10,
i586). This is what I did:

(in root directory of distribution)

configure
make
...and as root
make install

Now if I simply invoke wireshark I get this message:

wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The necessary file is in /usr/local/lib, which is included in /etc/ld.so.conf.

If I do this, it works:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
wireshark

Although (another problem) I have to be root to access eth0.

So two questions:
1) what do I have to do to let wireshark find the library?
2) what do I have to do to make eth0 available to an ordinary user?

Regards,

Jim Ham
