Thanks so much Jeff - you have been a wealth of information!

I am now working through implementing the -B option!

Hi Jeff,

THANKS so much for your guidance- I have never done something like this before and it is pretty cool that is worked.

I was looking in the Source directory for 1.8.1 and did not see a SPEC file.

Wireshark's version is in packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec{.in} . The version I quoted was from Fedora Core 17 (they have their own spec file).  I quoted theirs mainly because... Hmmm, I thought I used it as a base for an RPM I recently built for CentOS 6 but maybe I actually started with CentOS 6's spec file.  Hmm...

For future reference, I would like to know how to determine the requirements as the Config.Log file seemed too cryptic for me but I have had experience with SPEC files.  Could you enlighten me?

The main place to start would be the INSTALL file in the top-level directory of the source; it's supposed to tell you the dependencies you need (if it doesn't that's a bug).
