Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Libgcrypt is not found when trying to install wireshark 1.2.1

["Georgopoulos, Panagiotis" <panos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

 

I would like to use the decrypting functionalities of wireshark to decrypt ipsec packets on the fly.

 

I am able to compile and install wireshark 1.2.1 just fine but I realized that all the esp options in preferences menu are missing (apart from one line). Doing some digging around I found that during the ./configure it is not finding ligcrypt and thus it is not linking it. The actual message is :

·         checking for libgcrypt-config...no

·         checking for LIBGCRYPT - version >= 1.1.92... no

·         libgcrypt not found, disabling ipsec decryption.

 

                    However i do have libgcrypt11 installed (and I reinstalled it in my ubuntu 9.04 using synaptics). Where is wireshark trying to find it? How can I link it properly so that I would be able to use it for decrypting packets?

 

                    Thank you very much in advance,

                    Panos
