Compiling Wireshark 1.2.2 on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

Before compiling wireshark on Ubuntu, you need to install the following required packages:

build-essential bison flex libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libpcap0.8-dev
Type the following commands into your terminal to install the packages:

$ sudo aptitude install build-essential bison flex libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libpcap0.8-dev


Download wireshark source, extract and compile it:
$ tar xvjf wireshark-1.2.2.tar.bz2
$ cd wireshark-1.2.2 $ ./configure && make $ sudo make install

Then you gonna need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.bashrc and /etc/environment:
$ echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc $ sudo su # echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/environment # exit

Restart your machine.
