lib question

[peterve]

I had to install a few libraries (libnet) in order to compile Firewalk, but it doens't seem to work on any of them

I place the tar file in /utils/libnet,
untarred them,
ran the make and make install (as specified in the readme file)
but when I compile Firewalk, it still says that it can't find libnet

Maybe I put the file in the wrong directory...
Can somebody please explain step by step how I can get this right please ? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work

Hi,



For libnet, all you do is download the src from

http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/dist/libnet.tar.gz

to somewhere like /usr/src/ then do



cd /usr/src/

tar zxvf libnet.tar.gz

cd Libnet-1.0.2a/

./configure

make

make install



Then cd to your Firewalk src directory and try again. You may well find that it then stops with a libpcap error. If so,

get it from ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap-0.4.tar.Z

and do



tar Zxvf libpcap-0.4.tar.Z

cd libpcap-0.4

./configure

make install

make install-incl



Then try once more with Firewalk...
