Description Taco Walstra 2005-11-09 12:26:22 UTC 
I upgraded from 9.2 to 10.0. The online-update version ethereal 0.10.13 shows an segmentation fault, but no messages are seen in /var/log/messages. It's not something of missing libraries, because an old compiled 0.10.4 version still works...

I downloaded the source code of 0.10.13 and compiled everything myself and it worked out of the box. The reason for the problem lies perhaps in dependencies on gtk2 (I compiled against gtk1.2). This horrible gnome stuff is giving very often problems, but Yast should check this.

Just a guess: This might be a binary incompatability of a library involved (as you already mentioned). Such a thing is hard to `fix' because it might no longer work on the current version then. Please be sure that all involved libs are updated, reinstall them with YaST. You can find this out with `ldd <binary>', the packages containing the libs can be found with the tool `pin'. Often the problem lies there.

Please reopen this if the problem is still not solved after trying this.
