When I tried to open it, I'm getting this error

[root@localhost ~]# wireshark 
wireshark: symbol lookup error: wireshark: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry
[root@localhost ~]# 

Could someone help me to resolve this ?


This is a bug/issue with the gtk2 version in EL6.5.

The current version in your distribution is: gtk2-2.20.1-4.el6.x86_64, but gtk2-2.24 is needed for gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry.

You can probably just yum update gtk2 to get the version from CentOS 6.6 (or update your entire system) to get things working.
