Exactly. If you don't like to mess with dependencies yourself, use a

tool that covers them. The obvious choice for Mac OS X is fink, but it

is not the only one.

I know that Mac users like to have a filesystem image for each

program, that starts when you clip on it. But this approach ignores

the inherent complexity of dependencies by just using copies. If you

want to do this anyway, it would be an interesting exercise to package

Wireshark with the required libraries in an image (starting from

fink?). Unfortunately, libgtk really does not like being relocated, so

you may need some path name magic to get it work.

My approach will be a installer for every single dependent package

and then a master package installing all of them.

I'm 99.9% there by now. only one link issue in wireshark again.

when you launch wireshark it complains about not flat namespace (the plugins)

Had this before with earlier versions of Ethereal... gotta do a clean install again

(make distclean isnt enough).

also libadsn doesnt work due to linking issue yet.
