When building kismet from source on Kali-Rolling 2023.4 64 bit I encounter the following error:
In file included from backward_wrapper.h:28,
from kismet_server.cc:25:
backward.h: In member function ‘void backward::TraceResolverLinuxImpl<backward::trace_resolver_tag::libbfd>::find_in_section(bfd_vma, bfd_vma, bfd_fileobject&, asection*, find_sym_result&)’:

The problem is present in the file kismet-master/backward.h. By changing this code in the following fashion (per this stack overflow article) this resolves the compilation issue:
if ((bfd_section_flags(section)
& SEC_ALLOC) == 0)
return; // a debug section is never loaded automatically.
bfd_vma sec_addr = bfd_section_vma(section);
bfd_size_type size = bfd_section_size(section);
The application then properly installs and can be accessed at 127.0.0.1:2501 via a web browser after the kismet service is started.

I saw this fix linked in an aws_lambda_cpp issue
My current configuration includes:
