WireShark 0.99.4 - does not install

[bergert@…]

I had Ethereal installed and running (via port). Then I upgraded to 10.4 and also the new X11-2006 update. Now Ethereal is broken. So I "sudo port uninstall ethereal" "sudo port install wireshark" But Wireshark does not install- it seems there is a compile error and after the build it will always do a "clean". I am end-user so I have not been able to find logs.

Please run "port -v -d build wireshark" - this should show you exactly what happens - and report back with the results.

I've had ongoing issues with Wireshark refusing to build on my system: Dual 867 G4, 10.4.8, powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367). All of the errors have related to what appear to be Subversion-related variables. I have a script file from the latest attempt to build, which was just this afternoon, but it is over 3 MB so I'm reluctant to attach it. The last command and errors were:

Hmm, I recently rebuilt 0.99.4 and just did 0.99.5 with "port build +adns +ipv6 +net_snmp +pcre" and it worked fine. Can you try again with the 0.99.5 update? Also, any special options set for macports?

Closing as I believe this problem is fixed. Please (re-)open if it does not work for you.
