Hi again,
It's now the next day after turning the machine off overnight and...
wireshark is working and finding its library with no problem. Does this
mean that /etc/ld.so.conf is cached somehow? In any case I'm down to only
one question, and it is really a generic Linux one:
What do I have to do to make eth0 available to an ordinary user?
SuSe 10 uses kernel 2.6.13-15.18.
Regards,
Jim
Hi,
I came across this mailto in the User's Guide.
I just got the sources wireshark-0.99.8 and installed it on my machine
(SuSe 10,
i586). This is what I did:
(in root directory of distribution)
configure
make
...and as root
make install
Now if I simply invoke wireshark I get this message:
wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
The necessary file is in /usr/local/lib, which is included in /etc/ld.so.conf.
If I do this, it works:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
wireshark
Although (another problem) I have to be root to access eth0.
So two questions:
1) what do I have to do to let wireshark find the library?
2) what do I have to do to make eth0 available to an ordinary user?
