how you launch it?

The versions I've built install into /usr/local/bin/wireshark and require X11 and a bunch of libraries it dpeends on. If you installed similar libraries using "Ports", or "Fink" package manager you might get into dynamic linking issues.

check this with the otool.

This is the output I got on my MacOS X 10.5 system:

$ otool -L /usr/local/bin/wireshark

You might also trash the preferences in ~/.wireshark/ to see if some old settings move your window off screen or the like.

Andreas,

When I launch it in X11, things don't get better. I still have the wireshark tab appearing in the menu bar with nothing next to it.
Any suggestions?

You need to launch it in X11, not Terminal.
This is true for 10.4 but not for 10.5 where X11 is launched automatically.

Hi,

I installed Wireshark on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 and it worked fine for a couple of times. Now, when I launch it in the terminal, the GUI simply doesn't appear.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?


Cheers,

Robert
