Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wireshark-0.99.5 Segmentation fault on displaying packets

Hi,

actually there should be the right rpath set in your executable. You
can check that like this:

bash$ readelf -a /local/scratch/usr/local/bin/wireshark |grep rpath
0x000000000000000f (RPATH)              Library rpath:
[/local/scratch/usr/local/lib]

... if it looks much different something wrong happened.

Then try to do something like:

bash$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/local/scratch/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
ldd /local/scratch/usr/local/bin/wireshark

... does it still show the wrong lib? If not it might help you to
export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH like this. This for sure does not solve the
root of your problem - whatever this is.

HTH,
Martin

Yes I did, it traces back to libpcap_open invalid address
then I use ldd /local/scratch/usr/local/bin/wireshark
(where my wireshark is installed), it turns out
libwiretap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwiretap.so.0 (0xb7f46000)
this is wrong, as I use ./configure
--prefix=/local/scratch/usr/local, the libwiretap should
points to /local/scratch/usr/local/lib/libwiretap.so.0
right?

How to fix this?

Thanks,
/Yin
