Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Installing 32-bit rpm in 64-bit RHEL machine

OK, so I guess that the installation of that RPM fails? Due to not having the required (32-bit) dependencies?

In that case you'd have to "yum install" the required dependencies while specifying the ".i686" suffix (e.g., "gtk2-devel.i686"). If you don't know the package name that contains the required library you can always do, for example:

% yum whatprovides */libgtk-x11-2.0.so

Do you mean you've only got the 32-bit CD/DVD and you're trying to
install from there?  If so, did you modify your yum configuration to
look on the CD/DVD instead of on the Internet (which, if you're using a
CD, I'm guessing you're not connected to)?

Another possibility is that the base CD/DVD may not have Wireshark (or
at least the GUI version) on it.  I thought that only happened in RHEL6
but maybe it was also the case in RHEL5.  Of course you could look
around the CD/DVD to see if that's the case.

Sorry but no package is found after doing yum install.

Is there any other way of doing it? I have with me, just the rpm of 32 bit RHEL5 machine. I want it to be installed in RHEL5 64bit.

Hello,

Is there any way I could run a 32-bit Wireshark rpm in 64-bit machine,
more specifically for RHEL5 64 bit machine?

Normally you should be able to do:

yum install wireshark-gnome.i686

(The "-gnome" says to install the GUI, the ".i686" says you want to
install the 32-bit version.)
