Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Installing on Ubuntu 12.04.5

[Dario Lombardo <dario.lombardo.ml@xxxxxxxxx>]

You installed gtk3 that is the library pkg but not the -dev pkg that is what configure checks for. 

The key packet you're probably missing is 

• libgtk-3-dev

as stated in the Robert's list. 

To be sure, look for "gtk" in your config.log. You will find

configure:30681: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith -Wno-pointer-sign -Warray-bounds -Wformat-security -fwrapv -fno-strict-overflow -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -Wold-style-definition -Wstrict-prototypes -Wjump-misses-init -Wvla -Waddress -Wattributes -Wdiv-by-zero -Wignored-qualifiers -Wpragmas -Wno-overlength-strings -Wwrite-strings -Wno-long-long -Wc++-compat -Wshadow -Wlogical-op -fexcess-precision=fast -fvisibility=hidden  -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore   -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore    -DQT_GUI_LIB  -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c   >&5

conftest.c:36:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

configure:30681: $? = 1

The missing file is gtk/gtk.h. You can which pkg it belongs to with 

apt-file search gtk/gtk.h

and you obtain something like 

dario@hardcore:~$ apt-file search gtk/gtk.h

libgtk-3-dev: /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h

libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h

dario@hardcore:~$ 

that points you to the gtk3 pkg you need.

Hope it helps for future dependancies.

Dario.

I'm fairly new to Linux, and new to Wireshark, and I'm having problems with the ./configure part of the process to install Wireshark.

The error I'm getting is this:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 3.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: GTK+ 3 is not available

To fix this, I tried sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0, which installed gtk+3.0, but I still get the error above when I try ./configure.

I have attached the config.log.

Thanks,

Tracy
