That's what I thought. I am going to back out and perform the entire install as root.

If so, that's what you should expect to happen; either configure it to install in a directory in which you can write or, if you can get permission to do so (e.g., if you can run "sudo" on the machine), either run the "make install" as root (so it can install in "/usr/local/lib", etc.) or change the permissions on the directories in which "make install" will install things to let you install in them. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
