Building wireshark

If you were wanting to build wireshark on your shiny new install of Leopard, so that you can sniff the packets going to stumbleupon.com for example, you would find that macports won’t do it. The tiff library won’t compile on Leopard.

A little searching has an even better solution:

http://www.christian-hornung.de/ a version of wireshark that has ben compiled using the gtk-quartz libs, you don’t need X11 installed to use this.

Nicely done.
