I am currently trying to install Aircrack 2.2 on my Suse 9.1
First I dowloaded the file and extracted it with
tar -xvvzf aircrack-2.2-beta6.tgz
I then cd'ed to aircrack-2.2-beta6 folder
when i type make install I get the following error (I am root)
ip68-101-252-66:/home/ASP/Tools/aircrack-2.2-beta6 # ls
. .. ChangeLog linux Makefile monitor.sh README test
ip68-101-252-66:/home/ASP/Tools/aircrack-2.2-beta6 # make install
install -d /usr/local/bin
install -m 755 aircrack airdecap arpforge airodump aireplay /usr/local/bin

make: *** [install] Error 1
ip68-101-252-66:/home/ASP/Tools/aircrack-2.2-beta6 #

did I miss a step?
any follow up would be greatly appreciated

First off, since it's a BETA version, I'd hope you can understand what's going on, because it could do all kinds of weird things. I believe the code needs to be built first, before it can be installed. Admittedly, it could've been added to the README, but it's the fairly normal two-step install.

gosh, are you such a dick in real life too? when someone asks for help (in this case, he OBVIOUSLY doesn't know the two-step install), you simply point out the fact that it's a beta and then simply ignore his question, or at best offer help that is really, of no help at all!

use:

make && make install

worked for me (after i got the same errors you were having).

hth

Only when I see people headed off to be script kiddies.

The question is not how it works but where do i friggin download it?
