Kismet compiling issues...

[sawick61]

When compiling Kismet I get the following error messages

configure: error: Neither uclibc uClibc++ or standard gcc stdc++ libraries found

i assume its because i need a c++ compiler. so i tried gcc but when executing "make" go the following

95.1/gcc/ch/runtime/" "CHILL_LIB=-lchill" "GNUCHILL_VERSION=1.5.2" ../cc1chill
make[2]: Entering directory `/etc/gcc-2.95.1/gcc/ch'
gcc -c -DIN_GCC -g -O2 -I. -I.. -I. -I./.. -I./../config -I./../../include decl.c
decl.c: In function ‘start_struct’:
decl.c:4451: error: argument ‘code’ doesn’t match prototype
ch-tree.h:736: error: prototype declaration
make[2]: *** [decl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/etc/gcc-2.95.1/gcc/ch'
make[1]: *** [cc1chill] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/etc/gcc-2.95.1/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2


any suggestions would be much appreciated. i saw other posts but resolve via command line would be much appreciated.

you need to install g++, libpcap-dev, libncurses-dev and libnl-dev too, relative to your version.
just look for them in synaptic (gksudo synaptic) and install.

You'll need to start by installing the essential build tools for your Ubuntu system. The easiest way to do this is to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential". There's a lot of other libraries that will be needed for kismet. I find the easiest thing to do to get started is to install the kismet from the repository and then uninstall it. This way you get all the libraries installed for you. To do this run "sudo apt-get install kismet" and then "sudo apt-get remove kismet".
