Do you have a different version installed on the system while you're trying to run from the build directory? I've run into problems in the past with that.
Yes, an older version was already installed, 1.0.5. I removed it and did some minor cleanup and was then able to run tshark from the build directory. Before I removed it, libtool showed the libraries linked as those in /usr/local/lib/ rather than in <build_dir>/.libs/, so that definitely was the problem, although I find it a bit strange that it works during the build process (with 1.4.0 at least) without having to uninstall the older version. That happens when "tshark -G" is run to generate wireshark-filter.pod, as in: WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 ../tshark -G fields | \ /usr/bin/perl ./dfilter2pod.pl ./wireshark-filter.pod.template > wireshark-filter.pod Anyway, thanks for your help on this one. One problem solved. Now to try to figure out why I'm getting 23145 occurrences of the following GLib error when I try to run tshark: (process:19019): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_insert_c: assertion `pos <= string-> len' failed I've been seeing these errors for a long time now on this system (which is why it was still running 1.0.5), but I hadn't dug deep enough yet to try to figure out why and how to eliminate them. Any ideas on tracking this one down too would be greatly appreciated. Is it possibly a glib version problem? This system is running with glib2-2.12.3-2.fc6. I can't seem to find where the minimum glib version requirement for wireshark is mentioned. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
