./configure fails as pcap is not found

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

0. What version of Reaver are you using?  (Only defects against the latest
version will be considered.)
r69
1. What operating system are you using (Linux is the only supported OS)?
ubuntu 11.10

According libpcap is installed

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libpcap-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

According to this it isn't?

./configure

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables... 
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
error: pcap library not found!

Tried multiple removes, libpcap compiles from source - which did not work.
Ran from backtrack without problems, though. (running from backtrack is not an 
option)

I can confirm this behavior, though I don't know why the configure script can't 
find pcap_open_live in libpcap.so. It uses the standard AC_CHECK_LIB macro, and 
pcap_open_live is clearly in the library (confirmed by readelf). Will need to 
look in to this more; for now, use something other than Ubuntu 11.10 (this 
doesn't happen in Ubuntu 10.04 or BT5).

I have found the solutions.

The configure script exits on SQLite3..so just install sqlite3-devel and 
everything is ok

Installing "libsqlite3-dev" in Ubuntu 12.04 works. Thanks for the solution :)

@mojavosas, I don't have this problem anymore with the latest SVN.

Correct - r73 fix'ed the issue.
Installing "libsqlite3-dev" is also a good idea.

in fedora 16 
yum install libpcap-devel
yum install sqlite-devel

all works!

Original comment by noisey...@gmail.com on 9 Jan 2012 at 8:50

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

got the fix for Ubuntu 10.04

apt-get install libpcap3-dev
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
apt-get install libnl2-dev

now the important:
!!! libnl2 needs libdect !!!

so you have to edit the configure script with your editor - I take vi :)

vi configure
on line 2784 add -lnl and -ldect => LDFLAGS="-ldl -lm -lpcap -lsqlite3 -lnl 
-ldect $LDFLAGS"
on line 2793 add -lnl and -ldect => LIBS="-lpcap -lnl -ldect  $LIBS"

save all with your editor and exit (in vi with ":x")

do the same with file configure.ac
on line 7 add -lnl and -ldect => LDFLAGS="-ldl -lm -lpcap -lnl -ldect -lsqlite3 
$LDFLAGS"

then the old proceedure: 
make distclean
./configure
make
...

hope it helps
