Nope - 0.9.x releases are on a branch, not on the trunk. The page *definitely* needed clarifying.... > I'll build it from CVS and try again. Note that, if you build and install, by default it'll install a non- shared library in /usr/local/lib, so, if you're building Wireshark from source, you'd have to re-run the configure script on Wireshark at minimum (after doing a "make distclean"), and possibly even use --with- pcap=/usr/local to tell it to use the libpcap you've built rather than the one that comes with the system. If you're using a binary package of Wireshark, you'd either have to build from source to get the new libpcap, or configure it to install in /usr/lib (use --prefix=/usr) and do "make shared" and "make install- shared" (which builds shared libraries on Linux and Darwin/OS X - it doesn't use libtool so it doesn't support shared libraries on many platforms). I can't guarantee that replacing the shared libraries that come with the OS won't break other programs, however (it *shouldn't*, assuming whoever develops the Linux distribution you use didn't do anything stooopid, but...). _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
