Hi Alexander \o/
I had the same problem
once
Make sure that dumpcap.exe is in the same folder as ethereal.exe
(As you suggested,
perhaps it only needs to be on the PATH)
You will get that error
message if dumpcap cant be executed.
Regards,
Dave

Subject: [Ethereal-dev] Problems starting
capturing
Hello. I lately started developing
ethereal, especially concerning protocoll plugins.
First I installed ethereal normally
to learn about it. Then I built up the dev environment with all the libs and
src.
At
first I followed the foo protocoll example from the dev's guide to understand
how it is done.
When I finally made everything
compile the correct way I started ethereal and the protocoll was
enlisted. But when I wanted to start
a live capture the most easiest way (clicking on capture in the interface
menu)
A message popped up telling me that
no child process could be spawn due to a bad file descriptor.
The
same thing happened when I installed the plugin into the normal installation of
ethereal from the beginning.
I
deinstalled the program and built the sources again and the problem was still
there.
Has
anyone an idea? Could it be some problem with the PATH?
Thanks in advance
