What happens on tchui1-rhel3 if you run the command "tshark -v" - *not* "./tshark -v", just "tshark -v" - from a directory other than the Wireshark source directory?
It is the same:
[thot@tchui1-rhel3 thot]$ tshark -v
TShark 0.99.7

[thot@tchui1-rhel3 thot]$ tshark -r udp.pcap -T pdml
tshark: The file "udp.pcap" isn't a capture file in a format TShark understands.
One thing that I just notice is that the tshark is "manually copied" (not using RPM, YUM, etc) along with the necessary .so files into a specific directory. Then the admin set the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH which point to that specific directory.
Moreover, the machine is installed with ethereal too (using RPM) and it returns the same thing:
[thot@tchui1-rhel3 thot]$ tethereal -v
tethereal 0.10.10

I know it is a kinda weird setup...but do you have any idea?
Thanks,
