Perfect fix. Thank you. I'm running RedHat6.2, with a previous install
of ethereal.
Just to be verbose for any newbees (like me),
I downloaded ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz from
ftp://ethereal.zing.org/pub/ethereal/
I changed directory to the location of the downloaded tar ball.
I ran gunzip -d ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz
I ran tar -xvpf ethereal-0.8.6.tar.gz which generated a ethereal-0.8.6
directory with the install files.
I changed to the ethereal-0.8.6 directory, and typed "./configure"
I ran "make"
I had to "su root", and then I ran "make install".
I ran a "whereis ethereal", to find all the instances of ethereal.
I ran each occurrence with the "-v" option to find the versions.
The old one is in: /usr/sbin/ethereal
The new one is in: /usr/local/bin/ethereal
If your path lists /usr/sbin/ before /usr/local/bin/ you will get an
error if you try to just run ethereal.
I fixed this by deleting the old version (/usr/sbin/ethereal).
Thanks Guy.
