installing Tshark

0

Hi,

I'm trying to install latest tshark. Currently I'm using CentOS 5.x and it seems that there's no rpm for CentOS. Is there any link for downloading tshark source code or RPM for CentOS? I don't need to install wireshark but tshark!!

What I want to to is using frame.time_epoch filter but my current version, 1.0.15, doesn't provide this filter.

Yes, CentOS 5 uses a very old Wireshark. To get a newer version you'd have to compile your own. Wireshark 1.8 won't compile on CentOS 5 so you should pick up the latest Wireshark 1.6 source (get it from the download page).

When configuring you can disable wireshark (the GUI) by running 'configure' with "--disable-wireshark".
