Greetings,

I used the X11 xTerm CLI to try to run ethereal and got this:

NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual


I tried the same thing on OSX terminal CLI and got this:

NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal

(ethereal:343): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 
NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$


I tried to edit the X11 Applications menu to include Ethereal. The menu now has ethereal in it but when I select it nothing happens.

Any ideas what to try next?

Thanks

It looks that your DISPLAY environment variable isn't defined.

Another try:

- go to the menu item Applications->Customize... in the X11 application.
- add an "ethereal" item to the menu with command "exec /opt/local/bin/ethereal"

try launching ethereal from there.

Greetings,

I tried to run Ethereal from the command line and got this result:

NetTechs-eMac:/dev kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal

(ethereal:16862): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
NetTechs-eMac:/dev kimy$

Any ideas?

Try to execute /sw/bin/ethereal from the xterm (the terminal that
opens as soon as you launch X) it might tell you something useful.
ethereal might be trying to tell you something but not having a
console you cannot read it.



If the Fink package for Ethereal has some app launcher you can
double-click on, the standard output of Ethereal is probably sent
to console.log as is the case with other apps launched from the
GUI.  Check out console.log in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
(and be amazed at  the amount of stuff various OS X apps spew out
there).
