Installation Checklist
======================
[ ] 0. This is alpha software. Beware.
[ ] 1. Make sure you have GTK+ installed. Try running 'gtk-config
--version'. If you need to install/reinstall GTK, you can find
it at
http://www.gtk.org .
Ethereal needs gtk+-1.2.0 or above.
If you installed GTK+ from a binary package, you may have to
install a "development" package; there may be separate "user's"
and "developer's" packages, with the former not including
header files and the like. For example, Red Hat users will
need to install a "gtk-devel" .rpm.
[ ] 2. If you want to capture packets, make sure you have libpcap
installed. The latest "official" version can be found at
http://www.tcpdump.org .
Make sure you install the headers ('make install-incl') when you
install the library.
If you installed libpcap from a binary package, you may have to
install a "development" package; for example, there's
apparently a "libpcap0" Debian package, but it just includes a
shared library, a copyright notice, changelog files, and a
README file - you also need to install a "libpcap-dev" package
to get header files, a non-shared library, and the man page.
Similarly, Red Hat 5.x users will need to install a "libpcap-devel"
.rpm to go along with the "libpcap" .rpm.
[ ] 3. Run './configure' in the Ethereal distribution directory.
Running './configure --help' displays a list of options.
The file 'INSTALL.configure' contains general instructions for
using 'configure' and 'make'.
Ethereal installs a support file (manuf) in /usr/local/etc by
default. You can change this location with the --sysconfdir
option.
The --disable-pcap option allows you to compile without libpcap.
You won't be able to capture packets, but you can read traces
that have already been captured to disk by other programs.
[ ] 4. Run 'make'. Hopefully, you won't run into any problems.
[ ] 5. Run './ethereal', and make sure things are working. You must
have root privileges in order to capture live data.
[ ] 6. Run 'make install'. If you wish to install the man page, run
'make install-man'. You're done.
