showeq.xml!

[Satchel]

Showeq installed without errors running RH 9. Unsure what I did wrong, but it seems to be something with showeq.xml. I checked in /usr/local/share/showeq and the file showeq.xml isn't there, but the file seqdef.xml.

Nothing happened after I entered the below command.

2.3 Starting ShowEQ
[]# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5
[]# cd /usr/local/bin
[]# ./showeq eth0 --ip-address=10.0.0.10

Did the follow and recieve the following below.

]# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.1
]# cd /usr/local/bin
]# ./showeq eth0 -ip-address=0.0.0.0(my eq ip)

I believe the xml file is created the first time you run showeq.

You seem to have a permissions problem.

Are you running as root ?

[Satchel]

Yes I am running as root.

This is your problem:

Filtering packets on device p-address=192.168.1.100, searching for EQ client...

Are you sure you're putting 2 dashes in from of the "ip-address" argument? I don't think you are because that error seems to indicate you're trying to use the "-i" switch and Seq thinks everything following it is the name of the device you want to use. Try the command again, noting that "-i" means "interface" and "--ip-address" means exactly that. In Unix commands the double dash usually means you are going to use a multi-character word as a switch, while the single dash indicates a single character. Try this (obviously, replacing the 0's with your IP).

# showeq -i eth0 --ip-address=0.0.0.0
