Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Error w/ Make command on CentOS 4.5 & wireshark-0.99.6

[Steve West <stevewest15@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install just tshark to use wireshark via command line 
rather than a GUI. So, I checked to make sure all required packages are 
installed based on the online documentation, ran the configure command 
with no problems, but when I try to run the make command, I'm getting an 
error. The following packages are installed on the system:

glib-1.2.10-15
glib-devel-1.2.10-15
glib2-2.4.7-1
glibc-2.3.4-2.36
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.36
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.36
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.36
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.100.EL
dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.9
libpcap-0.8.3-10.RHEL4

[root@bb wireshark-0.99.6]# ./configure --disable-wireshark 
--disable-gtk2 --enable-tshark

The Wireshark package has been configured with the following options.

I also checked the config.log last few lines but didn't see anything 
that can shed some light as to why I can't make the package:
