Do you dare to compile ?

Wireshark is wellknown packet analyzer, so if you wanna mess arround to your neighboorhood, install this. But today i not show how to used it (maybe next time) but i will show ho o install it in *HARD” way, how ? that we compile it self.

Step 1: Download the source from here :

http://media-2.cacetech.com/wireshark/src/wireshark-1.4.3.tar.bz2

Step 2: Go to directory that that source exist.

in my case is in /home/myusername/wireshark/
so you must do :
cd home/myusername/wireshark/

Step 3: change to root please:

$ sudo bash
it will be asking for your password, so enter your password
the the terminal goes by :
root@my-desktop:~/myusername/wireshark#
that sign # mean you now on root.

Step 4 : Extract that you downladed :

#tar -xvf wireshark-1.4.3.tar.bz2

Step 4: Before we compile, we need additional packet, so just type this :

#aptitude install autoconf libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgeoip-dev libpcre3-dev libpcap0.8-dev libtool byacc flex subversion

Step 5: Now, time to compiling the source code:

#cd wireshark-1.4.3
#./autogen.sh
#./configure
#make
This will take some time, but after eventually complete. Type:
#make install

To use wireshark, use :
sh wireshark

Hope it give a damn clue ….
