One Answer:
If you don't have the Apple built-in version of X11 installed, Wireshark will not work. It is NOT sufficient to install Xquartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/, as XQuartz doesn't install its libraries in answered 21 Oct '11, 13:08  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
I dont have build-in version of X11. I got freshly installed OS from apple store. It didnt have ant X11. How would i get one.
Thanks
You should have gotten an installation DVD of Snow Leopard with your system, if "freshly installed OS" means it came with a machine you bought (if you bought a Snow Leopard DVD from the Apple Store, you obviously have an installation DVD).
Insert it into your optical drive; there should be an "Optional Installs" folder. Double-click on that; there should be an "Optional Installs.mpkg" package file. Double-click on that and follow the installation steps; when it gets to the "Custom Install" screen, open up "Applications" and select "X11". Continue with the installation process.
Actually its work laptop, so i dont have installation disk, is there any other way?
Yes.
You go to whoever in your organization supplied you with the laptop, tell them you need to have X11 installed on your laptop, and give them the instructions I gave you if they ask you how to install X11.
