make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
[root@localhost kismet-2.8.1]# ./configure

You don't have gcc installed. When installing Linux when you selected packages there should have been an option for software development which would include all your compilers and stuff. Just add it from RPM, it will be on one of the cds, then run ./configure again and see what else is missing.

I have the same problem, but I did install the development tools. I also did a ./configure and a whole list of things came up. So I thought I was good to go and did a make dep and got this:

make: *** No rule to make target `dep'. Stop.

I am unsure what else I am missing. I have looked to see if there is a dep file and there isnt anything.

Please help me also, I am new to linux also. I am useing suse8.1 pro if it helps.

Post the ./configure output.

is there a command that I can use to print it to file or something? I tried to copy it but that does not work.

You don't have ncurses installed.

I have them installed now and I got Kismet installed. Now I just have to work though configuring it.

Thanks.

btw, I went to the orinoco website to find updated drivers for my gold card, would any one know a better place to get linux drivers for it?
