I have downloaded the source code for Wireshark-1.8.0 and then use this instruction in this page http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_h...UnixBuild.html
to build and install.
Installation seems to be successful. The reason I say successful because I get the following output:
However when I try to run Wireshark this is what I getCode:Version configuration file version.conf not found.
