Hot off the oven, can report that the latest flavor of Wireshark built without a hitch and works apparently ok. Paralleism was kept at 8 and the "fink install wireshark" ran thru to the end. Since it was the first app to be installed on my brand spanking new Fink, it required 143 other packages to be built prior, none of which balked. Sorry, when I saw the long list, just said Y and went to lunch (and forgot to log the console). Only complaints from the executable are these: > (wireshark:34027): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkMenuItem' > to `GtkMenu' > > (wireshark:34027): Gtk-CRITICAL **: GtkWidget > *gtk_menu_get_attach_widget(GtkMenu *): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed > > (wireshark:34027): Gtk-CRITICAL **: void gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GtkWidget > *, gboolean): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed But all the menus and functions I tried work ok and it runs impressively fast. After first run, when it mapped its plugins, startup occurs in less than 3 seconds and in 64-bit mode as expected. Will continue rebuilding the collection of apps. J.
