Interesting.
I always thought that dselect was the only way to go. In general, is it better to use "fink install" for the packages that I want?

I mean that you should use the Fink source distribution, e.g. via "fink install ethereal".
The Fink source distribution does all of the patching and configuration automatically.

Thanks,
I'm not sure what you mean by "install from source".
If I just download the ethereal source from ethereal.com, it fails to install due to a ton of dependancy errors. That is why I tried the Fink route.
I work in Linux all day, so I'm fairly comfortable with how these things work, however OS 10.3 is just different enough to make this difficult :)
Thanks!

People have been installing the later version that's available from source.
