rambopfc · 06-26-2002

when ever i go to compile airsnort, i get this error, and i can't find where the problem would be really coming from.... can someone help?

"[root@localhost Airsnort-0.2.1a]# make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/Airsnort-0.2.1a'

that "/usr/bin/ld isn't a directory, its a file, so i can't even see whats in it... and i have pcap installed.
(kismet works... thats fine, but i just can't get this running)
please help?

Maybe you have pcap installed, but the linker can not find it. So you have to tell him where to look.

- Find Library-Directory with libpcap.so
- Include -Ldirname in Makefile (i.e. -L/usr/local/lib)
- compile

Hope this helps

get the airsnort 2.2 sources, they build their own pcap

ok, i give up... where in heck are they.. i've looked everywhere for them...
they're not on the airsnort sourceforge page and a loooong google search turned up nothing...

are they trying to hide them from me???
