Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] wireshark (with SMI) install on ubuntu issues ...

["Sandor, Todd (Todd)" <todd.sandor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - need some help getting wireshark with SMI (for decoding snmp via MIBs) working on ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I can no find a package that includes wireshark with SMI ready for install, so I googled and found:

http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/200907/msg00038.html

 

But I get errors when attempting to install the SMI stuff ...

sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark

cd wireshark-1.2.7/

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc

cd ..

sudo dpkg -i tshark_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb wireshark-common_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb wireshark_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb

I assume if I can get the SMI to install/work, that if I follow the rest of the compile/install that wireshark (below) with SMI will work…

 

After installing "devscripts" aia Synaptic Package Manager (so could use the "dpkg-buildpackage" command) I was able to get verion 1.2.7 of wireshark installed/working using the command below, but then I go into Preferences Name Resolution, the options to configure the MIB paths/modules are not available.

 

Any help getting wireshark with SMI working would be appreciated...

 

The following do work on my ubuntu:

 

sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark

cd wireshark-1.2.7/

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc

cd ..

sudo dpkg -i tshark_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb wireshark-common_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb wireshark_1.2.7-1_amd64.deb

 

But, I can’t decode smmp mibs …
