Kismet installation error.
 

Hi friends,
I am trying to install install Kismet software in my laptop. But when I type ./configure command, I am getting this error "configure: WARNING: Compiling without libpcap support.
configure: error: Could not find working libpcap. Libpcap is vital for the majority of capture sources Kismet supports. It must be explicitly disabled."


Hence I am not able to proceed further. :-( Can anyone help me out with this issue? I am a newbie here... :-(


Kindest Regards,

Install libpcat using your packet manager

*
*
The package name, Fedora 10, is : libpcap-devel
*
When configure asks for <libname> ,
it always means <libname>-devel .

.....

Hello mate,
How should I download or upgrade my libpcap-devel package? Should I just download it and install? I have no clue mate.. :-( Pls guide me..
Regards,
Vignesh.

Please never download any system packages for
Fedora 10.
Yum should be used : # yum install libpcap-devel

.... and 'yum' will take care, that you get the
latest updated package, + dependencies.
