getting packets

[snpp]

Hi Team

Ive been using showeq many years ago and am considering myself decent into linux.
I decided to take it up again and compiled 6.3.9 from tarball and updated via diff method
Ive done this on two different distros ( Linux Mint and now Centos 7 )

i start showeq as root and get gui and all the nice stuff..i see packets arriving ( # increasing in the status bar ) ..but im not getting any decodes at all...like nothing.
I tried using both Mirrorring and a dedicated network TAP device . - and as mentioned i get packets # incrementing

I see the packet when sniffing the port with Wireshark..However i do not get a decode as mentioned..This kind of ruins my view of myself as a decent linux guy...

Lol...so ..please help me as to where to probably start troubleshoot.

( i am testing against 2 diff TLP servers )

tia !
