I have been unable to launch ethereal under MacOS 10.4 from X11 and bash shell, running into a fontconfig problem each time. Installed using Darwinports. Each time I launch ethereal I get the following error: $ sudo /opt/local/bin/ethereal No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org Then I ran the following: iBook:~ colya$ sudo fc-cache -f -v fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, no such directory fc-cache: "/Users/colya/.fonts": skipping, no such directory fc-cache: succeeded No change in behaviour. Then I tried the suggestions at http://www.macosxhints.com/ article.php?story=20050502190643924 Created the directories, with no change in behaviour. Tried fc-cache again. subsequently though I am back at the same problem as before, and attempting to launch etheral from X11 results in the same error. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
