Ethereal Trouble
 
hi i am having trouble installing a customized version of ethereal that my company uses. We install it no problem on some of our laptops running Redhat but i am trying to install it on two of our new servers and i am having trouble. I first had trouble because the versions of gtk and glib were not correct and i eventually fixed that problem and now the install configures correctly. Here are the results of the configure.

Quote:

The Ethereal package has been configured with the following options.
Build ethereal : yes
Build tethereal : yes
Build editcap : yes
Build mergecap : yes
Build text2pcap : yes
Build idl2eth : yes
Build randpkt : no
Build dftest : no

Install setuid : no
Use plugins : yes
Use GTK+ v2 library : no
Use pcap library : yes
Use zlib library : yes
Use pcre library : no
Use kerberos library : no
Use GNU ADNS library : no
Use IPv6 name resolution : yes
Use UCD SNMP/NET-SNMP library : no

So everything seems to be configured correctly? I then try and perform the make. The make runs but there are several errors during the procedure. Here is the make out put.

Can anyone help me as i need this installed asap. I also forgot to mention that the base installation of ethereal that comes with the package installed no problem.

Which distribution do you use?

Don't the extensions come as packages, too?

mcrosby 5th June 2006 20:23
well my linux box is using Redhat Enterprise Linux ES release 4...i am not sure of the version of ethereal my boss just told me he needs the customized version because it has extra tools that they need that the regular copy does not

falko 6th June 2006 12:18
You can search for RH ethereal packages with
Code:
yum search ethereal

mcrosby 6th June 2006 13:57
hmm no such luck with that command nor do I think i would find the version i need. Can you see the problem in what happened with my make?

falko 7th June 2006 14:27
I don't know where the error during make comes from.

Never seen that before, and a little too cryptic. :(

Ethereal Ubuntu 5.10 with custom kernel
 
This is a different problem, but the title suits.

I've installed ethereal on my Ubuntu 5.10 (I know it's old now) which has a "custom" (vanilla) kernel with hibernate (suspend2) support.

I did the following:
Code:
apt-get install ethereal
apt-get install tethereal
and tried to execute ethereal with
Code:
user:~$ sudo ethereal
# and
root@host:~# tethereal
but both didn't work, giving the error:
Code:
Could not set capabilities: Operation not permitted
However, if I execute ethereal as a normal user, it starts up, but I cannot listen to traffic because I don't have enough rights.
How can I make it work? Does it depend on the kernel? Should I install the sources or is it a different problem?

I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-114153.html

Thanks, that did the trick. :-) Why didn't I find that.
