Install Ethereal GUI on linux 9
By Yu Cai
Linux 9 has text mode ethereal called tethereal
installed already.
If you want to install ethereal GUI on linux, you might have problems with
package independencies.
Especially for newest version of ethereal. The independencies is kind of messy.
You had better install old version of ethereal.
1) Download all the related packages from below
2) Remove old packages installed on your machine
Try to run the following command
rpm -ivh
libpcap-0.4-29.i386.rpm rpm -ivh ethereal-0.8.14-1.i386.rpm |
If you see conflict or independencies errors,
then remove the conflict packages,
for example:
rpm -e
ethereal-0.9.11-1 rpm -e libcap-0.7.2-1 |
3) Then install packages again.
rpm -ivh
libpcap-0.4-29.i386.rpm rpm -ivh ethereal-0.8.14-1.i386.rpm |
4) To start ethereal GUI, run "startx" to start x
windows, then open a terminal window,
type "ethereal &" to start it.
