Wireshark on Snow Leopard

Hi,

I've installed MacPorts 1.8.0 on a new Snow Leopard installation (Mac 
Pro 1,1; 32-bit kernel). Wireshark builds fine and appears to run but 
nothing is captured (even though running as root). There is an error 
message:

merlin:~ mike$ sudo tshark -i en0
Password:
Could not open file: 'eap.xml', error: No such file or directory
Capturing on en0

This eap.xml error was apparently fixed in 1.2.2 (MacPorts has 1.2.1) 
and the 1.2.2 binary from wireshark.org captures just fine, but I'd much 
rather have my own MacPorts-combined version :)

Is the eap.xml error just a red herring? Has anybody else got MacPorts 
wireshark working?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
