Can't install Ettercap with Graphical mode using Homebrew

Question

I can't install Ettercap to my OSX 10.7.8 using homebrew. Homebrew allowed me to install Ettercap but I can't rub it with graphical mode somehow.

➜  ~  ettercap -G

ettercap 0.7.6 copyright 2001-2013 Ettercap Development Team

GTK support is not compiled in ettercap

I would appreciate it if you can guide me through the steps to successfully install ettercap with graphical mode at my OSX mountain lion.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

To install Ettercap with the graphical mode with Homebrew, you can use the option --with-gtk+

$ brew install ettercap --with-gtk+

For your own information, you can get details about options on any Homebrew formula with brew info [formula]

Issuing brew info ettercap in the Terminal will show something like

ettercap: stable 0.8.0, HEAD
http://ettercap.github.io/ettercap/
/usr/local/Cellar/ettercap/0.8.0 (69 files, 2,1M) *
  Built from source with: --with-gtk+, --with-ipv6

==> Dependencies

Required: pcre ✔, libnet ✔, curl ✔
Optional: ghostscript ✘, gtk+ ✔, luajit ✘
==> Options
--with-ghostscript

For anyone who already installed. brew reinstall ettercap --with-gtk+ – Dobson

This solution no longer works Error: invalid option: --with-gtk+ – Cryptogram

The new version has the GTK3 built-in. It's just needed to install the icons manually: brew install adwaita-icon-theme – Codicil

Answer 2

Newer version of ettercap now work when installed from homebrew, however you must ensure you have the adwaita-icon-theme package installed aswell

brew install ettercap
brew install adwaita-icon-theme
