It says something about needing a c preprocessor and failing sanity checks? Is my suse going crazy?

unSpawn · 01-25-2007, 06:33 PM

May I ask why you've chosen not to install you distro's Kismet RPM?

osor · 01-25-2007, 08:41 PM

It looks like your machine’s include header files are all messed up (can’t find linux/limits.h). Try (re)installing whatever packages are packages are necessary for your distro (e.g., kernel-headers, system-headers, libc-headers, or something like that).

osor · 01-25-2007, 08:42 PM

Are you able to compile other autotools packages or is kismet the first you’ve tried?

darkzone · 01-25-2007, 08:46 PM

No ive tried others. I still get the same error. I didnt know i wasnt installing the right distro could you link me to the right one?

unSpawn · 01-26-2007, 10:43 AM

He's talking about packages, not distro.

osor · 01-26-2007, 11:18 AM

My question had little to do with your choice of distro. All I asked was whether (on your current machine and setup) you had tried to compile any other software from scratch (i.e., ./configure && make), and whether you had similar problems. If you previously had no problems, but now you do, is there anything different that you have done to the packages installed on you system (e.g., in an attempt to purge useless packages from you may have accidentally removed the system include files).
