Hi

I have downloaded ethereal and installed it, although when i try to run it as root I get the following error:

libgtk-1.2.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory.

I do have the above file in my system but LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined for the root user as I heard there was security implications in doing that.

Is there any way around this? I would really appreciate a hand with it.

Neil

Neil,
I just installed libgtk-1.2.so.0 as and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the root. I was wondering what the security implications of of having the Library path set for root. Could you please tell me whatever you know about it and with a litlle more research perhaps we'll figure it out.
Also, could please email me at vicky006@hotmail.com whenever you find an answer to this problem.


Thanks,
Vicky
