Hi,

I downloaded Wireshark and installed it, but the app doesn't open any
windows and from the command line...

$ tshark
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
  Referenced from:
/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libwireshark.0.dylib
  Reason: Incompatible library version: libwireshark.0.dylib requires

Trace/BPT trap

I didn't see your site mention that you only support the most recent
MacOS - I'm on 10.4.11. If you only support 10.5, it'd be good if you
could add that to your download page.

I think it's a known problem.  See:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2679

(Yes, the download page probably should indicate the Mac OS version restrictions.)
