Re: [Ethereal-users] Unable to launch ethereal

Eduard,

assuming that you are a unix newbie, i think you need to make sure
that the ethereal binary/executable is in your $PATH (i gues it is,
because tethereal also gets installed in the same dir, and u said u
are able to use it), still just check. secondly check that ethereal
has execute permissions.

if your installation via rpm went without any error being reported
(assuming you did:  rpm -ivh ethereal....rpm), then it's really very
surprising that in this case you can run tethereal but not ethereal.

regards,
bd
