hello eduard:
i can suggest u 2 things. either use http://rpmfind.net to lookup ethereal-0.10.2 's rpm, and when you click on the link to show it's details, it should show all the files delivered in the rpm package, and just check in which path ethereal is installed. or, if u have local copy of the rpm, then you can use the "rpm -qpl <rpm>" (plz verify the rpm manpage to see if that's the correct option to print the contents of an rpm -- i have a debian machine so don't have rpm manpage).
once u've the path for ethereal, which BTW should be same as the path for tethereal, do a "ls -l" on it to see if it exists, and what it's permissions are.
regards, bdutta

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.

Hello everyone! I am a newbie. I'm trying to install ethereal* *via rpm. While trying to run ethereal got the following error: [root@localhost /]# ethereal -i wlan0 bash: ethereal: command not found
Here is my configuration: FC4, KDE, I have the following packages installed: libcap-1.10-22 gtk+1.2.10-39.i386 gtk+-devel-1.2.10-39.i386 glib-1.2.10-16.i386 glib-devel-1.2.10-16.i386 gtk2-devel-2.6.7-4.i386 elfutils-devel-0.108-1.i386 net-snmp-5.2.1-12.i386.rpm net-snmp-utils-5.2.1-12.i386 net-snmp-devel-5.2.1-12.i386 Installing ethereal-0.10.11-2.i386 from RPM repository goes without any error and rpm query command also gives correct output. I tried also to install source rpm without success as well- the same error!
After all i decided to install from source, here is the error i got, although i thing it has nothing in common with previous one: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/ethereal-0.10.12' if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./wiretap -I/usr/local/include -DINET6 -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -MT version_info.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/version_info.Tpo" -c -o version_info.o version_info.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/version_info.Tpo" ".deps/version_info.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/version_info.Tpo"; exit 1; fi In file included from version_info.c:64: /usr/include/ucd-snmp/version.h:9:2: error: #error "Please update your headers or configure using --enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility" version_info.c: In function 'get_compiled_version_info': version_info.c:163: error: 'VersionInfo' undeclared (first use in this function) version_info.c:163: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once version_info.c:163: error: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [version_info.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/ethereal-0.10.12' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/ethereal-0.10.12' make: *** [all] Error 2

Thank you for response! I agree with you, probably it's a common mistake for newbie ,but I was thinking that if it was a permission i would get permission denied error or something, or am i wrong? Another thing that i can't locate executable file itself, in wich location I'm supposed to look for it by default? Thanks.
Hi bdutta I've tryed these things, here is the output of related commands:
I'd be happy if you could suggest another options! eduard
