Hi guys,

 

First, I just want to say that Ethereal is just to great. I love it!

 

I did installed it many times in a Windows2000 computer but now, I need it on a Solaris 8 platform. I have some installation problems and some important questions:

 

Problems:

 

During Ethereal installtion I got thoses messages. Please tell me what to do!

WARNING:

    The <TWWglb12u> package "Glib Library, (Usr)" is a

    prerequisite package and should be installed. Allowable

    instances include (in order of  preference:)

          (sparc) 1.2.8,REV=1

WARNING:

    The <TWWgtk12u> package "GTK+ Library, (Usr)" is a

    prerequisite package and should be installed. Allowable

    instances include (in order of  preference:)

          (sparc) 1.2.8,REV=1

WARNING:

    The <TWWucd42u> package "UCD SNMP, (Usr)" is a

    prerequisite package and should be installed. Allowable

    instances include (in order of  preference:)

          (sparc) 4.2.1,REV=1

WARNING:

    The <TWWzlb11u> package "ZLIB Compression Library,

    (Usr)" is a prerequisite package and should be

    installed. Allowable instances include (in order of

    preference:)

          (sparc) 1.1.3,REV=1

 

 

 

We did install ZLIB, GLIB and GTK+ so I beleive Ethereal tries to look at a wrong place.  Could you tell me what to do to solve this problem?

 

BIG QUESTIONS:

I'm installing Ethereal on HP Openview Network Node Manager server which is Bell Mobility tool to support our data network. I am afraid installing UCD (Net) SNMP agent over HP Openview installation may corrupt the server. This server is very critical for our companie.

 

My questions: Can it be installed without affecting the actual HP SNMP agent installed on my platform? Considering the actual SNMP agent installed on my computer, is there any precautions I need to take prior to do Net-SNMP installation? Can I just install needed SNMP libraries without installing the entire Net_SNMP agent?

 

Guys, thank you very much!
