Nemesis Installation is My Nemesis

[dansofe0r]

Good day everyone. I'm sure you're all working on interesting and challenging projects that experienced programmers such as yourselves no doubt have.

I've been trying for quite a while to install nemesis without success. When I try to use the command :

/nemesis-1.4$ ./configure --with-libnetit returns:

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
I have already installed libnet 1.0.2a because I know that nemesis uses that version of libnet. It is sitting in the 'Downloads' folder now.

I have also tried including the directory after using --with-libnet but maybe I am not entering the directory or syntax correctly. Also installed libnet1-dev with the Ubuntu Software Center.

Perhaps there is a newer nemesis-like program that could be used. I am aware that it is no longer in development. If not, I would certainly appreciate any insights or help. :)

try installing the corresponding libnet1-dev package


$ apt-cache show libnet1-dev
Package: libnet1-dev
Priority: optional
.
.
.
libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer
and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary functionality.
.
Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be
whipped up with little effort. With a bit more time, more complex
programs can be written (Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten
using libnet and libpcap).
.
This package contains the files needed to compile and link programs
that use libnet.

I installed libnet1-dev with the Ubuntu Software Center before but I forgot to mention that. Would I need to use the terminal to install it?

No, that doesn't matter. Please verify that the files "/usr/include/libnet.h" and "/usr/lib/libnet.a" are in place. For that, please copy&paste the output of the command "ls -la /usr/include/libnet.h /usr/lib/libnet.a" here.
