Kismet make error - Linux Gurus??? - Page 2

JimmyPopAli · 09-11-2002

You need to put the kismet_ui.conf and the kismet.conf into
/usr/local/etc/.

Thank you again... Feel free to tell me to "go away" anytime... To make a long story short transporting my laptop from work to home I lost power and of course lost my tmp directory with all this in it... so I got home, redid the process and now in the "make install" process I get this error:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'VERSION', needed by 'version.c'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/ramdisk/home/knoppix/tmp/kismet-devel/libpcap-2002.07.02'
make: *** [libpcap-2002.07.02/libpcap.a] Error 2

AAArrrggghhh... Damn Newbie...

Even with the above error, it appears that it built a kismet file. Can you tell me what the "standard" path would be to 'cd' to /usr/local/etc/ ?? (major newbie question eh?) I've tried "cp kis* /usr/local/etc/" and I get cp: copying multiple files, but last argument '/usr/local/etc/' is not a directory

I have no clue, erase the Kismet directory and try again, hopefully that solves the problem.

this will be interesting if this bootable linux cd will work with kismet. i hope you get it going, jay

sykojester · 09-12-2002

currently warlinux .4 almost has a fully working kismet/linux on a bootable cd.... has a bit to go. but great so far
kismet at least starts up (after tinkering).

i look forward to future versions.... actually anything that has kismet and loads off a cd to prevent dual boot laptop

How about posting the results of a "mount" command?

I'm hoping to get this going for all "us" Windows geeks who don't know Linux and who would still like to keep their Windows installed on their laptop. If and when I get the process down I'll get it documented and posted on my website. I'll keep an eye on the WarLinux also...
Mentat: I'll post the mount results when I get to work, I need to run now... thanks...
Thanks again to everyone for all your Linux knowledge... it sucks to be a Linux newbie but it sure helps to have this message board!

mount shows:

/dev/root.old on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)

Can you send the results of these commands? (The last 1 or two might fail)

"cd /usr"
"pwd"
"cd local"
"pwd"
"cd etc"
"pwd"

mentat · 09-12-2002

I should just burn a knoppix CD...

cd /usr
root@ttyp0[usr]#
pwd
/usr
cd local
pwd
/usr/local
cd etc
bash: cd: etc: No such file or directory

Hope this makes sense to you

"cd /usr/local"
"mkdir etc"

go back and try "make install" again in kismet

"cd /usr/local/etc"
"ls"

should see kismet files

let me know.

Also...
"cd /usr/local/bin"

if it doesn't work

"cd /usr/local"

"mkdir bin"

OK... when I do the "mkdir etc" I get the following error...
mkdir: cannot create directory 'etc': Read-only file system

Does this mean that we are on the CD-ROM or does this mean that the /usr/local/ directory is currently marked Read Only?

Thanks,
Jay

It probably means that the directory is mounted off the CD. That could make things interesting. You probably need to change the install base target. I'm not sure quite how to do this. In the kismet source directory type:

"./configure --help" and see if there's something about an install prefix.

JimmyPopAli · 09-12-2002

Try this, go to the /usr directory and type "ls -l local".
