first run - no libwiretap.so.0

0

Hi, I've just build wireshark on SUSE 11.3. There were no problems with compilation and installation, but when I try to run it, there is an error "wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". This library is in /usr/local/lib but I don't know what to do to run wireshark. Thanks for your help

Did you tell configure where it would be installed? Check your configure log.

Otherwise try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching Wireshark.

Thank you Jaap I solved my problem. In Suse, there was not a such variable. All I had to do was to create a file 'profile.local' in '/etc' with a line inside 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib'. After reboot everything works fine. See you and good luck.

Run 'ldconfig' command(or similar command), Issue should be solved. I had same issue on Ubuntu 14.04, ldconfig helped!
