Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Ethereal on the Mac?

[Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My main development platform (i.e. the laptop sitting in front of me) 
recently changed from Windows to Mac OS X.  Installing Ethereal left a 
bit to be desired:

Running "fink install ethereal" failed to install many dependencies 
(GTK+, atk, pango, and others).  Fink installed version 0.10.9, which is 
almost a year old.  The package doesn't appear to be linked with 
Net-SNMP or ADNS.

I tried to install it under Darwinports and didn't get past glib2:

AquaEthereal makes launching Ethereal easier, but it does the wrong 
thing by running Ethereal under sudo instead of changing the permissions 
of /dev/bpf.

Would it make sense to bundle Ethereal up along with all of its 
associated libraries as we do with Windows and ship it as a disk image 
or package?
