Wireshark fails to complete install at gtk2

[Kok-Yong Tan]

Frankly,  I don't get those errors you're getting...but then, as I  
mentioned, I installed gtk2 +x11 instead of gtk2 +quartz...   Just  
for kicks, why not uninstall gtk2 +quartz, install gtk2 +x11 and  
recompile wireshark and see what you get?

Also, when you run Wireshark, you have to run it as root, i.e.,  
"sudo /opt/local/bin/wireshark", otherwise you can't access any of  
the available interfaces.   If you run it from under an X11 xterm, it  
should be set properly but if you're attempting to run from Terminal  
with X11 running already, remember to set your DISPLAY variable to ": 
0.0".
