Probably not, if what was installed is an x86 binary version of the
library.
now i assume i can take the compiled files and just crosscompile
with eldk to run on the ppc440?
You can't compile already compiled files; "cross-compile" means to
compile on a machine of one type and generate machine code for a
machine of another type, so cross-compiling is a type of compiling.
You have to cross-compile the *source* files. If you already compiled
TShark without specifying that you were compiling for a PowerPC
system, you presumably compiled it to run on the machine on which you
compiled it. You would have to compile it again in order to run on
the PPC440.
where are the files located that I have to compile?
In the Wireshark source directory.
(Have you cross-compiled any software for the PPC440 machine in the
past?)
