I'm having a problem getting Wireshark up and running via MacPorts
and X11 on a 8GB RAM, 140GB free drive space, dual 2GHz G5 tower
system with OS X version 10.4.11 and with X11 Update 2006 applied
(providing me with X11 v1.1.3). There are no warnings or errors
whatsoever during the builds of Wireshark or Macports but when I try
to fire up Wireshark from a xterm window under /Utilities/X11, I get
a bus error. The version information when I try to run Wireshark from
an xterm under X11 that I get is this:
zeus:/opt/local/bin kytan$ sudo wireshark -v
wireshark 0.99.6

Compiled with GTK+ 2.12.1, with GLib 2.14.3, with libpcap 0.9.5,
with libz
1.2.3, without libpcre, without Net-SNMP, without ADNS, without
Lua, without
GnuTLS, without Gcrypt, with MIT Kerberos, without PortAudio,
without AirPcap.
NOTE: this build doesn't support the "matches" operator for
Wireshark filter
syntax.
Running on Darwin 8.11.0, with libpcap version 0.9.5.
Built using gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367).
I built Wireshark by using the "sudo port -R install wireshark"
command and this seemed to automatically build the wireshark variant
as seen below:
zeus:/opt/local/bin kytan$ port installed
The following ports are currently installed:

zlib @1.2.3_1 (active)
The following variants are available for building Wireshark:
zeus:/opt/local/bin kytan$ port variants wireshark
wireshark has the variants:
universal
darwin_6
darwin_7
darwin_8
darwin_9
adns
gnutls
libgcrypt
ipv6
net_snmp
pcre
no_ssl
no_x11
Should I have built a variant of Wireshark other than the default
darwin_8 variant or something other than the latest libpcap, glib,
gtk, etc., libraries? Would appreciate any help in getting wireshark
to run. I have a crashdump log of Wireshark and can provide that if
the above information isn't sufficient for someone to tell me where I
went wrong in the compile of Wireshark under MacPorts. Thanks in
advance.
