First, for the non-OSX User:
If you want to install an application in OSX, you only have to drag
the binary file into your "Application"-folder - thats all..
But installing wireshark with this technique could get you in some
trouble.
The problem is that there is a folder in the .dmg installation package
named "utilities".
If you drag this folder into your "applications"-folder you are
overwriting an existing system-folder which is also named
"utilities"...
You're not supposed to do that. The Read me first file says:
1. Drag the Wireshark icon onto to the Applications alias.
2. Open the Utilities folder.
3. Drag the contents of the Command Line folder to $HOME/bin, /usr/
local/bin, /opt/wireshark/bin or any other location that makes sense
(preferably one that's in your PATH).
4. You will probably need to adjust the permissions of /dev/bpf* in
order to capture. You can do this by hand or by dragging the ChmodBPF
folder onto the StartupItems alias.
