All installation were successful. And when I lauch /usr/local/bin/ wireshark, it show me the error : "invalid argument".

According to a comment in OpenSolaris's /usr/src/uts/common/exec/elf/ elf.c, EINVAL (that's what "Invalid argument" is) is returned if "Format recognized but execution not supported", so the file appears to be an ELF image but not one that can be executed.

What happens if you say

	file /usr/local/bin/wireshark

and

	ldd /usr/local/bin/wireshark
