First Couple of Builds

The task is to build two packages.
-one is nled source
-second one is wireshark source

Building and installing the nled from source file was pretty easy and brings back memories from ops235.

$ tar -zvf nled_2_52_src.tgz
$ cd into the directory created
$ make



No need to install nled. Just run from the program directory ./nled


nled now running

Next is wireshark
I chose to build wireshark because it has a configure file and I can use it for my security class.

$ tar zvf
first i ran the ./configure but it returned with errors for dependencies. So, read the README file and downloaded all the required libraries. Ran the ./configure file again, but still an error. This was caused because it needed the developer libraries libpcap-devel not just the libpcap

yum install libpcap-devel

$ ./configure went through without any warnnings.
$ make
$ make install

make took forever. Gotta try the -j option for make next time. Make install (had to be root).

$ wireshark



FINALLY!!!
