Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal capture on mac osx

[Andreas Fink <andreas@xxxxxxxx>]

You can use Ethereal 0.10.14 by downloading the following packages for Intel or PowerPC for MacOS X 10.4.4 or higher.

http://www.finkconsulting.com/page7.php#ethereal

They include a small script called AquaEthereal to launch it nicely from a GUI.

Those packages do not depend on anything else than a bare bone MacOS X with X11 being installed. So no "fink" or "port" needed.  I actually compiled the intel version of the package on a MacBook Pro.

the "not allowed" problem might come from the fact that you either don't have that directory or don't run ethereal as root (however AquaEthereal fixes that for you...)

Hi, my name is Sergio and I need to use Ethereal's capture on a macbook pro.

I've installed ethereal via Fink commander and i sart it using aquaethereal. But when I try to start capture, not necessary in a file, I recive this error message : 

Not all the packets could be written to the file to which the capture was being saved ("/var/tmp/etherYQgSZrJAxf") 

Please help me, I think is a problem of not allowed users but I don't know how to fix it.

Thank you very much !
