I actually get the following error when running wireshark, i.e. after a few seconds of a capture: Macintosh:~ greg$ wireshark --sync The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 50746 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Macintosh:~ greg$ Any ideas/suggestions? The installation console out (which succeeded I believe) is below: Macintosh:~ greg$ sudo port install wireshark Password: ---> Fetching docbook-xml-4.1.2 ---> Attempting to fetch docbkx412.zip from http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for docbook-xml-4.1.2 ---> Extracting docbook-xml-4.1.2 ---> Configuring docbook-xml-4.1.2 ---> Building docbook-xml-4.1.2 with target all ---> Staging docbook-xml-4.1.2 into destroot ---> Installing docbook-xml-4.1.2 4.1.2_1 ---> Activating docbook-xml-4.1.2 4.1.2_1 ###################################################################### # As MacPorts does not currently have a post-deactivate hook, # you will need to ensure that you manually remove the catalog # entry for this port when you uninstall it.

So the problem was docbook-xml-4.1.2 couldn't fetch its distfile. It looks to me like it's still there on their server, so maybe their server just had a temporary problem. Please try again.
