Hi,
 
I am trying to fire up ethereal under suse linux v7.0/ also failed on v6.4.
 
When I try to load it I get a "segmentation fault". Hardware is a thinkpad 390e.
 
Running "ethereal -v " reveals the following:
 
ethereal 0.8.9, with gtk+ 1.2.8, with libpcap 0.4a6, with libz 1.1.3, with UCD SNMP 4.1.1
 
Could someone please suggest how this newbie troubleshoot this?
 
Other packages run fine, like nmap, tcpdump, snort.
 
thanks..grt
