Installing software on linux from source

[foobro42]

I have been having trouble installing cowpatty on a dell server at work. OpenSUSE Enterprise 9. I get missing .h files. I have tried moving the missing .h files into the program directory. I have tried checking out the Makefile file. I have no idea what to try even after hours of googling. I know its something simple I'm missing.

 

I went home and tried installing cowpatty/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ptw on my ubuntu 7 laptop and got similar and more errors. I dont know what I'm missing.

 

I download the .tar.gz files

then decompress the gz

then tar xvf the tar file

then cd into the directory

then ./configure (no file found)

ok then sudo make

.h files are usually the kernel headers

 

that's what you need to get installed

 

cheers

cowpatty.c:59: error: "PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE" undeclared here (not in a function)

 

This is the first error in the chain, tells me that you need to install libpcap and its headers.

 

Something like:

 

Code:

yast -i libpcap libpcap-devel

 

That will work if those are in the repositories (hopefully they are), otherwise find the RPMs for your system.

thanks, that makes sense. I know something is missing. I have installed libpcap-devel. libpcap was there. When I try to compile I see that it is missing openssl/md5.h

I know I installed openssl with the standard

 

./config

make

make test

make install

 

I am re-installing it with those libpcap-devel libraries in place. I have had luck this weekend compiling for the first time on one of my home pcs when I reformated and installed fedora core 6 then installed openssl, libpcap, libpcap-devel, then cowpatty.

 

ok I just reinstalled openssl. I think the files are out of place.

 

here is the output of the make command

 

cc -pipe -Wall -DOPENSSL -g3 -ggdb -c -o md5.o md5.c

make: *** [md5.o] Error 1

 

So, the md5.h file is missing or out of place. I'll run a find to see where its been put.

 

vmware:/ # find -name md5.h

find: ./media/cdrom: No medium found

find: ./media/floppy: No medium found

./usr/lib/news/include/inn/md5.h

./usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/md5.h

./usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.191/fs/cifs/md5.h

./tmp/cowpatty/md5.h

./tmp/openssl-0.9.8e/crypto/md5/md5.h

./tmp/openssl-0.9.8e/include/openssl/md5.h

 

Well, I'll try to move it manually to where I am guessing it needs to be to be found. /usr/include/openssl/md5.h ??

 

OK, I moved the contents of directory /usr/include/ssl/include/openssl/ to /usr/include/openssl

 

Here are the results of the make command

Ok, I've been doing some reading. No one said I needed openssl-devel installed to compile this. So I did a

 

yast -i openssl-devel

make clean

make

I see warnings, but it has been compiled! Thanks for the help
