Hi 2 suggestions for you. First, is you initiate extcap via console, do you run it as root? And is wireshark running as non-root? If yo, you might need capture privileges as suggested by the wireshark wiki page. Second, yes the directories are not very intuitive. Usually if you run it from a build, it will use run/extcap . If you run it from an install, it will use the /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib/... paths.
Have you tried putting it in run/extcap? Also, please ensure that the script is executable. If everything fails, you could create a small script in each directory with basically the following content: #!/bin/sh pwd > /tmp/path.txt and read out the path, extcap will execute the script, but do nothing, as it will not find the correct output. regards, Roland On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 4:22 PM, Dario Lombardo <[email protected] > wrote: > > > On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 4:03 PM, Michal Labedzki < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Try to do: >> $ export WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 >> $ ./run/wireshark >> >> > Yes, it's what I usually do. > > >> Check also your config.h (build directory): grep EXTCAP config.h >> >> I have something like that: >> #define EXTCAP_DIR "/pkg/wireshark/lib/wireshark/extcap/" >> #define HAVE_EXTCAP 1 >> >> > $ grep EXTCAP config.h > #define EXTCAP_DIR "/usr/local/lib/wireshark/extcap/" > #define HAVE_EXTCAP 1 > > That's strange.
