Re: Dissector Portability

Brain,

I could get the answer


   1. If wireshark is compiled on a machine ...... If we place our
   dissector(.so) in

   */usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0/.... *it works straight away

   2. If wireshark for a machine came with distribution (Fedora) ,that does
   not have the above patch.In such case keep the .so file
in/usr/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.0.0/......



Please let me know if iam not clear




Regards
Chiru
