Hi WS-Users,
do have an issue installing WireShark 1.2.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (64bit) in addition to use Quartz 2.5.2
After the installation process and starting Wireshark a Wireshark Symbol come up in the Dock.. a little bit later a X11 Symbol comes up in the dock. Doesn´t matter on which symbol i klick getting a X11 Menuline, being able to open an X11 Terminal, but didn´geht any Window or anything else to use Wireshark.
Enclosed the installation process including some original outputs from the terminal window showing the installation results.
Any ideas to move further finding a solution?
Thanks a Lot in advance.
1. downloaded and installed quartz 2.5.2
2. Started the WS-installation process like instructed in the "Read me first.rtf" doc supported by the download.
--> moved Wireshark app to /Applications
an ls of /Applications shows:

containing all subdirs and the other stuff likewise inside the downloade Wireshark.dmg
3. copied the content of the command line folder from the Utility folder inside the Wireshark.dmg to /usr/local/bin
