#49730: wireshark will not start on PowerPC OS X 10.5.8 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: herminio.hernandezjr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: powerpc Port: wireshark | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by rjvbertin@…): FYI: next time, please add the port's maintainer email to the ticket's Cc: when you create it (regular users cannot do that afterwards). wireshark doesn't actually crash, it is terminated because the X server is missing support for a feature it cannot apparently do without (wireshark itself, or one of the ports it depends on). I'm not sure how useful dtrace is in this context; the backtrace provided by Apple's Crash Reporter should be more useful to see which function call led to the abort. In the meantime, you could try to install the X server available in MacPorts, with luck it will support PPC and be a more recent version than the old one from the 10.5 DVD! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49730#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I notice this in the fc-cache crash file {{{ Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib Referenced from: /usr/X11/bin/fc-cache Reason: Incompatible library version: fc-cache requires version 5.0.0 or later, but libfontconfig.1.dylib provides version 3.0.0 }}} I verified this by running {{{ herminio-hernandezs-power-mac-g4:~ herminio$ otool -L /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib: /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0) /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.16.0) /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 34.0.0) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.0.0) }}} However I saw a newer version of the library file in /opt/local/lib {{{ herminio-hernandezs-power-mac-g4:~ herminio$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib: /opt/local/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0) /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 19.0.0, current version 19.1.0) /opt/local/lib/libexpat.1.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current version 8.0.0) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.7) }}} So I renamed the library file in /usr/X11/lib and created a symlink to the newer file. Now when I tried running wireshark it still crashes but I am no longer getting a fc-cache crash report. I post my recent X crash report. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49730#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
