So, I have downloaded Fink-0.9.0-Intel-Installer.dmg and followed the steps you directed upto FinkCommander. But I could not find ethereal package here. So, I installed wireshark package instead and SharkLauncher(actually just decompress) from your provided link for AquaEthereal. When I launch SharkLauncher, it prompts for password as expected, but after about a minute it justs close down even before showing any GUI. I tried log in as root even with no success. Could you please help me? Hi,

I use Gimp a lot and would not like to see that X11 config stomped by the Fink install. Before I go the route with Fink, has anyone tried running this installer on a OS X box that has Gimp installed?

Good to know that OS X packages are available as well. I just checked the sources; Fink still don't have binary, I'm confused with the DarwinPorts and only <a href="http://www.finkconsulting.com/page7.php" rel="nofollow">Andreas Fink</a> seems to have a Wireshark package but with around 20 dependencies :(. They're promising a combined single installer soon, which should be attractive to Mac users. Thanks for the update Gerald. Good to know that OS X packages are available as well.
