Hi Ethereal experts,
From what I read, the Ethereal seems the perfect tool for me
to unpack TCP packets. So I thought, let me quickly install
it.
Therefore, I downloaded the following files:
- GTK+: gtk+-1.2.8.tar
- libpcap packet capture library: libpcap-0.6.1.tar
- Ethereal: ethereal-0.8.14-solaris2.7-sparc-local
I am working on a SUN workstation running Solaris and the above
mentioned
files were downloaded:
btm0s5:download:498$ ls -al
total 74400
drwxr-xr-x 3 opstalj ve47
8192 Jan 19 14:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 49 opstalj ve47
8192 Jan 19 13:21 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 opstalj ve47
2405800 Jan 19 14:21 ethereal-0.8.14-solaris2.7-sparc-local
-rwxrwxrwx 1 opstalj ve47

-rwxrwxrwx 1 opstalj ve47
686080 Jan 16 08:45 libpcap-0.6.1.tar
The 1st thing I did next, was to unpack the tar files:
$tar -xvf gtk+-1.2.8.tar
Now a lot of files were extracted.
-> 1st question: do I need to do something else
to install GTK+ ?
I also unpacked the libpcap:
$tar -xvf libpcap-0.6.1.tar
Again a lot of files were extracted.
-> 2nd question: do I need to do something else
to install the libpcap ?
My directory now looks like:
btm0s5:download:505$ ls -al
total 74416

-rwxrwxrwx 1 opstalj ve47
686080 Jan 16 08:45 libpcap-0.6.1.tar
-> 3rd question: what do I need to do to install/start
the Ethereal program ?
As you can see, I am more like a 'starter' ... but I would really
appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Jan Van Opstal
