Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [ethereal-users] installation problems..

[Arni Raghu <arni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
The problem was solved by installing gtk-devel rpm on RH 5.2

I ran make and it seemed to compile well..when I run ethereal the
application shows up fine..but when I click on  the menu option
Tool->Capture and say ok...it freezes after showing a window that has
nothing in it..

Why is that..???

Thx,
Arni
