I'm running Fedora-17/KDE on my laptop,
and am trying to run wireshark.
I've yum-installed wireshark, wireshark-gnome and wireshark-devel.

When I run wireshark (as root) it gets as far as
"Registering Python dissectors"
and then crashes:
------------------------
[root at rose tim]# wireshark
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
------------------------

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

I should have thanked you -
a recent yum-update has solved the problem.
Now I just have to learn how to use wireshark ...

(I'm following the free, online class on computer networking
at <https://class.stanford.edu/networking/Fall2012/>
and they recommend using wireshark to see what is going on.)

Looks like an interesting course.
