Hello I found this post: http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/22081/1100-trying-to-run-on-osx1058-but-crashes-on-load where someone had a problem starting Wireshark 1.10 on Mac OSX 10.5, but I have maybe the same problem with my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 (from 2009) and Wireshark 1.8.10 Intel 64 or 1.10.2 Intel 64 or 1.11.0 Intel 64. I start it and immediately I get the crash with this error:
I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, rebooted, not working. I even tried Wireshark 1.11.0 Intel 32 but this crashes without any crashing window. I installed XQuartz 2.7.4 now (had X11 2.3 before), log out and on, no change. Can somebody tell me what I should do? I had a running version of Wireshark 1.6.1 Intel 64 which was working with X11. Thank you frank asked 16 Oct '13, 14:09  franc edited 16 Oct '13, 14:33 |
One Answer:
Great heavens, this hint was pure gold! I uninstalled then all wireshark rests, I did: rm /Users/f/Library/Preferences/org.wireshark.Wireshark.plist rm -r /Users/f/.wireshark rm -r /Applications/Wireshark.app rm /usr/local/bin/wireshark rm -r /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF and installed the version 1.10.2 and hush! it works!!! Thank you very much! I think this was the mix-up with 1.11.0 and the old version 1.6.1 maybe, which through this error. frank answered 18 Oct '13, 07:50 franc
That step probably wasn't necessary - it threw away whatever preference settings you had. (18 Oct '13, 10:22) Guy Harris ♦♦ And, yes, currently 1.11.0 doesn't work on Snow Leopard. We're looking at that. (18 Oct '13, 10:22) Guy Harris ♦♦ I mistakenly installed 1.10.3 on my 10.6.8 machine and ran into this issue as well, deleted all the files above except the (13 Nov '13, 06:52) Hoss You would not have gotten with 1.10.3, as the 1.10.x (and earlier) releases aren't built with Qt.

You are not getting that error from 1.8.10 or 1.10.2, as those aren't built with Qt. What errors are you getting with those versions of Wireshark?
