Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] RE: openssl dependencies for ethereal-base-0.8.20

[Dave Erickson <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This really should be in the FAQ.  The answer to both
my question and James Pifer's are part of the same mess.

The Linux 7.2 installs of ethereal are confused, to say
the least, because of the way the rpms are named on rpmfind,
and because of the openssl dependencies.  e.g.
wouldn't you expect ethereal-0.8.18-9.i386.rpm to be
the complete install of ethereal, at least based on
the name?  And shouldn't the install of ethereal be
happy if it finds libcrypto.so.0 *or greater*?

The steps that finally got things working for me were:
1. install a recent openssl (0.9.6c)
2. install ethereal-base, ethereal-gtk+, ethereal-gnome and
ethereal-usermode
3. create the symbolic link libcrypto.so.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.6c

The install required some additional options:
rpm -U --nodeps --force --allfiles (for openssl)
rpm -i for the first run with ethereal to make sure all the prereqs
were in place except libcrypto.so.0, then rpm -i --nodeps to
force the install.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] openssl dependencies for ethereal-base-0.8.20

I'm attempting to install ethereal-base-0.8.20
on Redhat 7.2.  What version of openssl should
I install to satisfy the dependency for=20
libcrypto.so.0?

I have openssl-0.9.6c-2 and openssl-devel-0.9.6c-2
installed.  openssl includes the link /lib/libcrypto.so.3
which points to /lib/libcrypto.so.9.6c-2.  I tried adding
the link /lib/libcrypto.so.0 to the same library, but the
ethereal-base install still complains about the missing
dependency.

openssl-devel includes the library /usr/lib/libcrypto.so,
but no links.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal Won't load

I have the following packages installed.
ethereal-base 0.8.19 Applications/Network ethereal base package
ethereal-gtk+ 0.8.19 Applications/Network GTK+ GUI for ethereal package
ethereal-kde 0.8.19 Applications/Network Red Hat KDE integration for
ethereal and ethereal-usermode
ethereal-usermode 0.8.19 Applications/Network Red Hat usermode -package
integration for ethereal
openssl-0.9.6b

When I try to run ethereal in KDE I get the following error:
[root@rly root]# ethereal: error while loading shared libraries:
libcrypto.so.0: cannot open s
hared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone know why?

Thanks,

*NOTHING* happens?

No error messages?

What happens if you type "ethereal" with no "&"?  Do you just get a
shell prompt back, with no error messages whatsoever printed?  If so,
run "strace -o /tmp/ethereal.strace ethereal", and send us the
"/tmp/ethereal.strace" file.

Guy,

Please see my later post. I didn't have everything that I needed
installed to run the GUI part. That's why I was "seeing nothing".

Now I have everything installed (I think), including openssl, yet I'm
getting an error that it can't find libcrypto.
[root@rly root]# ethereal: error while loading shared libraries:
libcrypto.so.0: cannot open s
hared object file: No such file or directory

It's definitely installed though. If i try to reinstall it it tells me
it's already there.

Thanks,
James
