raoul, after loading the dsl-dpkg.dsl package from the dsl repository you could try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

apt-get update will get the available dependancy lists and the apt-get install libpcap-dev will get both the libpcap files and the developement files (with C headers and such). You might need to get the libpcap0.7-dev instead of libpcap-dev if the above fails.

Alright, that didnt want to work for me either, hehe.

I tried apt-get install libpcap-dev

and that returned:

libpcap-dev: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

So then I tried apt-get install libc6-dev and theat returned:

libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.8) but 2.3.2.ds1-10 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I then tried installing libc6 and that didnt work for me either, package not found.

So I then tried the libcap0.7-dev, and once again, package not found.

It just looks like none of these dependencies want to work for me. Thanks anyways for all the help, hopefully I'll be able to buy a new wireless card pretty soon that wont give me any of these problems. Then I should be able to use the mydsl Kismet that I have installed already.

I just tried what I wrote before again in dsl 2.3 and it did work. I loaded the dsl-dpkg.dsl and gcc1.dsl packages right after starting up and in an xterminal typed both of these lines:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

If you are using an earlier version of dsl, you might need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file from stable -> unstable. The latest version seams OK with using stable in that file (the default) and I ran the apt-get update as stable.

Still doesn't want to work for me. Could it be because I have an HD Install? This would be the first time something has not worked because of it. I know everyone says not to do an HD install, but I tried a frugal install first and had all sorts of problems trying to save my settings. The HD install was SO much faster on my slow-ass laptop I stuck with it instead.
