Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [ethereal-dev] ethereal on AIX-4.3.2

[Ciaran.Deignan@xxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I'm trying to get ethereal-0.7.9 to work on AIX-4.3.2, with libpcap.
I built a recent version of libpcap (both libpcap-0.4 and
libpcap-1999-12-09) as a shared lib, and this seems to work with
the freeware tcpdump (both tcpdump-3.4 and tcpdump-1999-12-09).

ethereal compiles and links cleanly (once I linked glib and gtk+
manually), and opens a display when executed. The capture interface does
capture packets (from en0), but almost all the packets are interpreted as
Token-Ring packets instead of Ethernet.

In addition the File->Save menu option causes several GTK error messages
to be displayed and a core-dump is produced. I don't think the two
problems are realated.

In attachement, the file tr.out.gz produced by "File->print" (hex dump
option) that should demonstrate the first problem, and a file ethereal.err
containing the error messages produced by File-Save. The stacklist from
the core is

esther # dbx ethereal
Type 'help' for help.

The information requested in the readme is:
# uname -a
AIX esther 3 4 00920517A000
# gtk-config --version
1.2.6
# ./ethereal -v
ethereal 0.7.9, with GTK+ 1.2.6, with libpcap 0.4, with libz 1.1.3, without SNMP

Any help would be appreciated. If I get a binary working I am planning on
making it available for download from
	http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/download.htm

Thanks,
Ciaran
