I have a Mac with all updates installed. Wireshark 1.6 installed successfully from the install package for 10.6, however it fails to run! It produces a crash report (enclosed). There is nothing in the documentation that indicates that I need anything else installed, nor is there anything specific about system requirements for Macs, however I have installed X11 and Xcode from the original install discs for my system. Is there something in the documentation I have missed? It seems that the binary package is not suitable for a 10.6 system! I have even tried the 1.4.7 installer with the same result, (ie, requiring a newer version of the PNG library than exists on my system), so it seems that Wireshark is built for a future version of MacOS? Any help gratefully received...
You need to apply all system updates from Apple. I checked the buildbot and my MacBookAir: Both report [mba:~] tuexen% otool -L /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib: /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 45.0.0, current version 45.0.0) /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.0) So the binary is as intended.
