Try running ethereal with gdb, and put a breakpoint un plugins_scan_dir
This functions loads all the plugins found in the plugins directory.
If ethereal can't load a plugin, it should output one of the following
errors :
- Couldn't load module encaps.so: xxx
- The plugin encaps.so has no version symbol
- The plugin encaps.so has a plugin_reg_handoff symbol but no
plugin_init routine
- Memory allocation problem
when processing plugin encaps.so, version x.y
- The plugin encaps.so, version x.y is an old-style plugin;
Those are no longer supported.
If ethereal loads your plugin successfully, it calls its "plugin_init"
function. You should check that your plugin_init() function does
everything needed, i.e. registering your protocol and its fields :
proto_register_protocol() and proto_register_field_array()
