Hi
I'm a newbie (so pleas excuse my ignorance) using Fedora Core 4, KDE.
I was unsuccessfully trying to install ethereal-0.10.11-2 via rpm and eventually gave up and installed it from source. BTW, i couldn't find the matching version of ethereal-gtk+ rpm for Fedora Core 4, could i just install the one from falsehope? Finaly i managed to launch ethereal(installed from source) but it gives an error during the launch process:

/home/ed/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'

Hmmm, some misconfiguration in gtkrc from Fedora? Sorry, not a UNIX expert.


It also doesn't work properly, when i try to choose the interface for sniffing, the program just closing up and gives me another error:

Err file capture_sync.c: line 661 (sync_pipe_input_cb): should not be reached
Aborted

That bug is fixed in the 0.10.12 release.
