It is my understanding that the difference is in whether the GTK libs are linked in or not. But you could be right: roman@freepuppy ~ 1127:0 > grep -A10 WITHOUT_X11 /usr/ports/net/ethereal/Makefile .if !defined(WITHOUT_X11) USE_X_PREFIX= yes USE_GNOME= gtk12 MAN1+= ethereal.1 PLIST_SUB+= ETHEREAL=bin/ethereal .else PLIST_SUB+= ETHEREAL="@comment ethereal not built" USE_GNOME= glib12 CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-ethereal=no \ --disable-gtktest .endif With or without the GUI, [t]ethereal's output is much more readable (for me anyway) than that of tcpdump, and that was why I chimed in. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
