FYI
I just install Ethereal (very popular packet sniffer) into Leopard on my new
MacBook.
It takes about 2.5 minutes to install Ethereal in Vista, it takes about 3.5
hours in Leopard if you have complete and accurate install info; I could not
get such info, so it took considerably more time.
The following is a post I have made which lists the steps I used:
Re: Installing Ethereal into Leopard via Darwin Ports
It should take about 3.5 hours to complete if your setup is similar to mine:
2GHz Core 2 Dual Intel CPU, Santa Rosa chipset MacBook with 4 GB memory, and
a fast DSL (310 KBps DTR) Internet connection.
1. Create an Apple Developer user acct if you do not have one:
http://developer.apple.com
Required to download Xcode
2. Download/install Xcode Developer Tools:
(it is on OS X DVD #1, but download may be more current)
Go to http://developer.apple.com
Do a search on Xcode
Select Xcode 3
Login
Download stats:
File size: 1.16GB
Time: 1 hr, 10 min at 310 KB/sec
Reboot after download to increase amt of free memory
Double-click the DMG file
Double-click the XcodeTools.mpkg file
Time: 8 min
Reboot to increase free memory
3. Verify X11 is installed:
It is by default in Leopard
(for Tiger, you must install it from the OS X DVD disc)
4. Install X11SDK:
Insert Apple OS X DVD disc #1
Dbl click on "Optional Installs"
Dbl click on Packages folder
Dbl click on X11DSK.pkg file
Time: 30 seconds
5. Install Darwin Ports:
Download from: http://darwinports.com/download/
Double-click the downloaded DMG file
Double-click the .pkg file
Time: 10 min
6. Update Darwin Ports:
Use Terminal.app
Enter: sudo port -d selfupdate
If you get following error message: (I did)
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldnt sync dports tree:
sync failed doing rsync
Then disable all firewalls on the Mac
(my NAT-router was not a problem)
Total time: 2 min
Check amt of free memory
7. Install Ethereal:
Use Terminal.app
Enter: sudo port install ethereal
Time: 1 hr, 15 min
CPU usage: both cores were used heavily at times
8. Build the font cache before launching Ethereal for the first time:
Use Terminal.app
Enter: sudo fc-cache
Do not need to run it again before using Ethereal
Total time: Few seconds
9: Run Ethereal:
Use Terminal.app
Enter: sudo /opt/local/bin/ethereal
10: If Ethereal crashes: (mine did)
And if Terminal.app shows following error message:
"BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)"
Then download/install X11 v 2.1.3 from:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz
(Leopard's X11 has a bug)
11. Install AquaEthereal 1.2 to launch Ethereal from the Dock:
Download it from:
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/AquaEthereal.shtml
Dbl click the .dmg dnload
Drag the .app file to the desktop:
(I drug it to the Application folder, but it would not show in the
Application folder)
Then drag that .app file to the Dock
12. Enable firewalls if you disabled them per above
