Folks'es,

I just downloaded wireshark 0.99.7 for Solaris 10 (SPARC) from sunfreeware.com including all the dependencies. Everything worked until I try to start it. I get that message that wireshark can't find libgnutls.so.13, see following ldd output:

obelix2:/usr/lib#
and indeed, I only have libgnutls.so.6.0.5. I tried linking it to libgnutls.so.13 but then wireshark just eats up all my CPU cycles but does nothing else.

I searched hi and lo for this library but can't find it anywhere. Can some kind soul out there either
  • tell me where to get it and
  • tell me why it might be missing
Thanx,

Thomas
