I am trying to install Kismet. However, it stops compiling and gives me this message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dsl/downloads/kismet-2006-04-R1/libpcap-0.9.1-kis'
gcc -O2 -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_U_="((unused))" -c ./pcap.c
pcap.c: In function `pcap_lib_version':
pcap.c:880: error: `pcap_version_string' undeclared (first use in this function)
pcap.c:880: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pcap.c:880: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [pcap.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dsl/downloads/kismet-2006-04-R1/libpcap-0.9.1-kis'
make: *** [libpcap-0.9.1-kis/libpcap.a] Error 2
dsl@box:~/downloads/kismet-2006-04-R1$

I have not been able to find out exactly what this means, or how to fix it. Anybody give me a clue?

Thx

Thanks for the reply, but it said :

Couldn't find package libpcap

I did dl the mydsl kismet extension, but it's an earlier version that doesnt support my chipset.

Lemme know if you have any other suggestions.

Thx again

Yeah, I did:

./configure
make dep

I'm still relatively new to Linux in general so I made sure to follow the directions implicitely.

Thanks again, just let me know if you come up with anything.
