Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Need help on installing WS on Centos 5

Hi,

I have been trying to install wireshark and wireshark-gnome rpm on a server running CentOS 5. This is an i386 (32-bit) server.

I did multiple searches on the internet and found that my server requires "wireshark-<version>.i386.rpm" and "wireshark-gnome-<version>.i386.rpm" packages. The difficulty I am having is to find the right rpm version of wireshark and where to find them. My server has "libpcap-0.9.4-11.el5.rpm" package installed and "openssl-devel-0.9.8b-8.3.e15_0.2" & "openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.e15_0.2" packages installed.

Someone provided me two wireshark RPMs : "wireshark-0.99.4-EL3.1.i386.rpm" and "wireshark-gnome-0.99.4.EL3.1i386.rpm".

I tried to install but it failed complaining "Failed Dependencies".  Any help is highly appreciated.
