Another workaround - if I just copy the libraries that were included in 1.0.0 into the 1.0.2 app bundle , I can get 1.0.2 to run. I think this may be more of a packaging problem than anything else, just wanted to make sure whoever's interested/maintaining the Mac package was aware. I haven't had time to look and see what's changed in the packager to see if I could understand who made the change and if it was intentional.

Hi Ian,
I was able to compile and run wireshark 1.0.2 from source.
It was not easy though for me.(Well partly could be because I'm a Mac newbie)
I had to install GTK+ using MacPorts as well as upgrade my XQuartz to XQuartz 2.3.0 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple5)
since the X server installed with 10.5.2 (or 10.5.4) is an older version (2.1.2 I think)
If you install the above two packages and compile wireshark from source you should be able to run wireshark
1.0.2.
Do give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

Actually, now that I have a look at the Application Bundles...
I see that in Wireshark 1.0.0, the bundle contained a number of libraries, including the libpng12.0.dylib. Many of these have been removed in 1.0.1 and
1.0.2. So it's falling back to the ones in /usr/X11/lib/, which at least on our machines is incompatible. There are a handful of other libraries needed (like libXrandr.2.dylib) that are incompatible as well.
Were these libraries removed intentionally from the bundle, or is it a mistake? The newer versions are significantly smaller than the 1.0.0, but my vote would be to have the larger app bundle than to have one with external dependency nonsense.
Thanks,

I have the same problem trying Wireshark 1.0.2, and had the same problem when 1.0.1 was released. 1.0.0 works fine.
Presumably either you and I have something installed that others don't, or we're missing something that many of the rest of the Mac users have installed.
I'm also running OS X
10.5.2. Has anyone run into this and been able to correct it? Found a X11 package/binary that replaces this library with one that gels with Wireshark?
I wonder if it'd be a good idea/possible to distribute this library (and other dependencies) in the Wireshark.app package to avoid these kinds of conflicts?
Thanks,
Ian
