What do you mean "/usr/local"? MacPorts' prefix is "/opt/local". Reconfiguring MacPorts to use "/usr/local" as its prefix is not at all recommended.

Hi Ryan,

Thank for taking time on this. unfortunately I am no expert, just tried to use the standard procedure.

Could you give a hint how to workaround for existing installation or fix for new installation will be an help.

many thanks, Eric

Hi Ryan,

The simple hint is: don't use /usr/local as a prefix. As Ryan said, its not recommended. Some ports explicitly disable looking in /usr/local for libs, etc. so as to not auto-include non-MacPorts-controlled bits, and wireshark is one of these, that may be the problem you're running into.
