Hi,
I have built Wireshark from source on my Linux RHEL 4 system, that has libpcap version 0.8.3 installed.
But when I try to run this Wireshark on a Linux system with RHEL 5 (libpcap version 0.9.4), I get an error:
"error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Obviously, Wireshark is looking for the same libpcap version as the one with which it was built.
My question is: how can I build Wireshark so that it is not statically linked to a particular libpcap version? Is there a way to dynamically link Wireshark with libpcap ?
Ideally it should be able to run on any system that has the same or newer version of libpcap available.
Regards,
Munish
