pb3 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I want to install tcpdump and wireshark on my mac. Both of these programs require Pcap to be already installed. I don't think I've installed Pcap however I already have nmap working which also requires Pcap. I'm not sure if Pcap is built in to the nmap code or whether building nmap also installed pcap on my system. Is there an easy way to check if you have Pcap installed or do I just go ahead and build tcpdump and wireshark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Try to build it. You'll get your errors soon enough. Alternatively, run 'ldd <program>' and it will tell you which libraries it (tries) to load, and where the on the system these libraries are found.

pb3 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Okay, I tried building it but it requires gtk+ I installed gtk+os x but apparently the version of glib is not a high enough version. I'm also missing pkg-config. Has anyone actually built wireshark on a mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
