Ethereal 0.9.15 installation under Redhat 8

Hi,

Today I tried to install ethereal 0.9.15 under RH8 using the rpms
supplied by ethereal. However none of the rpms could be installed:

# rpm -i ethereal-base-0.9.15-1.9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by ethereal-base-0.9.15-1.9
libsnmp-0.4.2.3.so is needed by ethereal-base-0.9.15-1.9
ucd-snmp is needed by ethereal-base-0.9.15-1.9
# rpm -i ethereal-base-net-snmp-0.9.15-1.9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by ethereal-base-net-snmp-0.9.15-1.9
# rpm -i ethereal-base-no-snmp-0.9.15-1.9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by ethereal-base-no-snmp-0.9.15-1.9
[root@athena Ethereal-0.9.15]#

Any ideas what could be wrong here? Obviously some libs are missing, but
where can I get them?

Has anybody out there sucessfully installed ethereal 0.9.15 under RH8
from the RPMs?

TIA for any hints

search for the missing libs ... there will be packages available for your
distro containing those libs ... downloads & install them

Yes, you're missing the libcrypto library, which is provided by the
openssl package. Openssl should be on your installation media; otherwise
you can pick it up from RedHat's ftp server, rpmfind, or wherever.
