Greetings,

I used the X11 xTerm CLI to try to run ethereal and got this:

NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal

No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig

library is not correctly configured. You may need to

edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information

about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual

page and on http://fontconfig.org

I tried the same thing on OSX terminal CLI and got this:

NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal

(ethereal:343): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 

NetTechs-eMac:~ kimy$

I tried to edit the X11 Applications menu to include Ethereal. The menu now has ethereal in it but when I select it nothing happens.

Any ideas what to try next?

Thanks

It looks that your DISPLAY environment variable isn't defined.

Another try:

- go to the menu item Applications->Customize... in the X11 application.

- add an "ethereal" item to the menu with command "exec /opt/local/bin/ethereal"

try launching ethereal from there.

Any ideas?

Try to execute /sw/bin/ethereal from the xterm (the terminal that

ethereal might be trying to tell you something but not having a

console you cannot read it.

If the Fink package for Ethereal has some app launcher you can

double-click on, the standard output of Ethereal is probably sent

to console.log as is the case with other apps launched from the

GUI.  Check out console.log in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app

(and be amazed at  the amount of stuff various OS X apps spew out

there).
