**piyush.neo** · October 1st, 2010

i am using ubuntu 10.04.

when i as trying to install nemesis its showing error that libnet is missing

Code:

   ERROR!  Libnet library not found, go get it from
   http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/
   or use the --with-libnet-* options, if you have it installed
   in unusual place

Though the Version 1.1.4-2(libnet1) has already been installed on machine.
Then i manually downloaded the libnet library from
http://packetfactory.openwall.net/pr...net/index.html but still the same error.

Here is the instruction for installing it.

Code:

Installing Nemesis on UNIX-like systems:
========================================

Installing Nemesis on UNIX-like systems is a straightforward process that 
closely resembles installing any other piece of software using GNU autotools.  
Before attempting to install Nemesis, ensure that libnet-1.0.2a is installed.

The following steps are all that is needed to compile and install Nemesis:
1. ./configure
2. make
3. make install
4. examine the nemesis man pages
5. enjoy.

When compiling the following switches are available:
----------------------------------------------------

`--enable-debug'
     Enable debugging options (bugreports and developers only).

`--enable-profile'
     Enable code profiling options (developers only).

`--with-libnet-includes=DIR'
     If the configuration script can't find the libnet include files on its
     own, the path can be set manually with this switch.  Do not include
     a trailing / when specifying the include path. 

     Example:

     --with-libnet-includes=/usr/local/libnet/include

`--with-libnet-libraries=DIR'
     If the configuration script can't find the libnet library files on its
     own, the path can be set manually with this switch.  Do not include
     a trailing / when specifying the library path.

     Example:

     --with-libnet-libraries=/usr/local/libnet/lib

Code:

piyush@piyush-laptop:~$ whereis libnet
libnet: /usr/lib/libnet.a /usr/lib/libnet.la /usr/lib/libnet.so /usr/include/libnet.h /usr/include/libnet

I have already tried installing with few "--with-libnet-includes" option...
Plz help me to figure out the problem.

You installed libnet1-dev?

Yes, i have already installed it.

**hawk_eyes** · October 2nd, 2010

I issued the command with appropriate paths.

$whereis libnet
libnet: /usr/lib/libnet.a /usr/lib/libnet.la /usr/lib/libnet.so /usr/include/libnet /usr/include/libnet.h

$./configure --with-libnet-includes=/usr/include --with-libnet-libraries=/usr/lib

Even then i am getting the same error:

checking for libnet_build_ip in -lnet... no

ERROR! Libnet library not found, go get it from
http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/
or use the --with-libnet-* options, if you have it installed
in unusual place

Did i give the correct path options?

I have followed your advice but still problem persist. After installing libnet by ur link

Code:

root@piyush-laptop:~/Libnet-1.0.2a# whereis libnet-config
libnet-config: /usr/bin/libnet-config /usr/share/man/man1/libnet-config.1.gz

Its not in \usr\lib ...is it a problem??

I use to resolve all of my compiling trouble. I resolved this one in 45 minutes. I was stucked with the same problem as piyush-neo.

This has done the trick: ./configure --with-libnet-includes=/home/shideneyu/Libnet-1.0.2a/include --with-libnet-libraries=/'/home/shideneyu/Libnet-1.0.2a/lib'
Replace the path to your libnet folders. Notice that I've install libnet-1.0.2a but it seems that the routes haven't been updated.
I got a x64 architecture, no further change to make it work

Have a nice day
