Hi Gerald,
I'm using Mac OS X for developing and using Ethereal for a couple of
years now and never
used fink or darwinports to get it running. I'm just compiling all
the dependencies by hand
because I had always this or that problem with these package managers...
I think the best way would be to provide an installer for Mac OS X,
just as done for Windows...
Best regards
Michael

My main development platform (i.e. the laptop sitting in front of

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?
