Next I built with the following configure line for Wireshark after downloading v1.10.2 and extracting: CFLAGS=-fPIC LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/glib/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/glib/lib/pkgconfig \ configure -enable-static -prefix=/tmp/glib

I downloaded glib v2.26 and extracted it and built it with the following configuration line. However I quickly discovered that this required Python 2.5 which, as you guessed, was more recent than the Python 2.4 supplied with RedHat. Initially I tried downloading the latest glib from which took me to glib v2.36. Unfortunately Wireshark versions from at least v1.8.2 (and possibly earlier but at least after v1.6.16) require glib 2.14 or better when RHEL5 only provides glib 2.12 (RPM glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1). Now I can click WireShark's icon in the Dock, and it appears to be working fine.RedHat 5.9 uses many outdated packages.

I don't know why, but it worked. Then I came across an online comment where someone stated that they typed "sudo wireshark" in the Terminal. So I conducted some quick research on the web and discovered that I had to enter "sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11" in the Terminal in order to restore a link an X11 link that Yosemite breaks. In the initialization window, WireShark would get as far as "Loading module preferences", or about three quarters of the way done, and in the bottom of the window it would say "Please wait while Wireshark is initializing." and then freeze-up. Regardless of which version I used, WireShark keep freezing up during the initialization process. I made repeated attempts to use both WireShark 1.12.4 and 1.99.3, but without success. Some of this has been shared before, but there is a little added twist at the end which worked for me. This may possibly be of help to other new WireShark users who are having trouble getting WireShark to launch in Yosemite.

Live capture and offline analysis are supported.The most powerful display filters in the industry.Multi-interface: Along with a standard GUI, Wireshark includes TShark, a text-mode analyzer which is useful for remote capture, analysis, and scripting.


Hundreds of developers around the world have contributed to it, and it it still under active development. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998. Wireshark is one of the world's foremost network protocol analyzers, and is the standard in many parts of the industry.
