Re: AquaEthereal on a MAC OS X machine

Usually AquaEthereal simply fires up X11, sudo'es to root and runs  
"ethereal". if there's an error like it cant find ethereal (because  
its in /usr/local/bin/ethereal and your PATH variable doesnt include  
that) or it depends on libraries which can not be found, you wont see  
any error.
If you launch X11 and type "sudo ethereal" followed by your password  
you should see the error.

..or just use my installer for ethereal 0.99.0 which has all this  
work done already.

This one does only require X11 from Apple. It doesn't require "fink"  
or anything else.
