wslua_count_plugins error

0

Hi,

I am trying to compile from the SVN and everything has completed perfectly but when I try to run WireShark I get the following error:

wireshark: symbol lookup error: wireshark: undefined symbol: wslua_count_plugin

Has anyone encountered this at all?

How are you running Wireshark, from the wireshark-gtk directory created during the build, or from an installed version using an installer that you've also built?

I just typed Wireshark after doing a make install - I have no other build of Wireshark on my box

Ok, so you are running on some OS other than Windows then? What OS are you using?

Ubuntu Linux 13.04

And are you able to run from the build directory as described in the Developers Guide Sect 3.6.1?

That was the issue.

Run Wireshark with WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY=1 ./wireshark and not just wireshark

Thanks for your help.
