Install "development" version from source?

computer_freak_8 · 11-14-2008, 06:55 PM

I am trying to install Berkeley DB on SuSE Enterprise (10.1?) as a "development" package. (Like an RPM that ends in "-devel".)

How do I do this? I installed according to the HTML document referenced in the documentation, but when attempting to install Dsniff, I still get an error about missing Berkeley DB support.

Note: This is schoolwork, so that means two things.
1. I will have to wait until Monday before I am able to try it again.
2. I need to learn to install it as a development package from source - not an RPM file.

My teacher will tell me if all else fails, but she wants me to try and use my resources (search engines/forums) to the best of my abilities before resorting to asking her for help.

Thanks in advance,
computer_freak_8

See if you can install the src-rpm.

otherwise get the source and compile it.

#./configure --help

Tell use exactly the steps you followed, and paste whatever error messages you are getting. It's very important to be accurate because that way you will get a better change to get helped and this thread will probably be shorter.

From the sound of it, I think that you might need to install the db or/and db-devel package. It's usually the name of the berkeley db package on most distros.

First, sorry, I forget about that (until I'm trying to help someone else, of course)!
Second, keep in mind, I should not install the RPM of it; I should compile it from source.

Here's what I do:

Download Dsniff from http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/
Extract using GUI archive manager
Change to the extracted directory
Code:
```
./configure
```
Error returned:

Okay, now I'm really confused. Any ideas?

computer_freak_8 · 11-15-2008, 03:30 PM

Okay, I figured out I needed to leave of the "lib" on the directory parameter when configuring dsniff. I went through a few other errors, ended up installing Flex and Bison (to install Libpcap, which I did). Now the latest error is about Libnet.

So I downloaded Libnet from Sourceforge, and try to compile it according to the "readme.txt" file (copy the makefile, then run "make").

I get the following output:

Then I found Libnet at Packetfactory, and it was a lot newer, so I downloaded it. After seeing the "readme.txt" is the same, I ran "make". The output is:

Code:

I don't know what all these errors are about; does anyone know how to fix them?

i92guboj · 11-15-2008, 03:38 PM

Your way to proceed is basically correct.

The problem seems to be on the dsniff configure step, maybe there's some other parameter to tweak or maybe there's some problem with it. I will try once I finish some compiling that I am doing right now and let you know if I find something.

computer_freak_8 · 11-15-2008, 03:49 PM

Hmmm...
It doesn't say anything about "./configure" in the "readme.txt" of the newer version, but there is a file named "configure" in that directory - unlike the older version.
So, I ran it. No errors. So I ran "make" - the output is:

Okay, I'm stuck again!

Okay, thanks. As I mentioned in the first original post, I won't be able to try it "for real" until Monday, since it's a school computer. I'm doing this all on my Ubuntu box as of right now. I will take the files used to compile everything with me on my flash drive, so I won't have to re-download everything while doing "guess and check" at school. Also, I made an edit about the same time you posted, and since then I added another post in the thread (in addition to this one). The edit is the second half of the post made right before yours.

computer_freak_8 · 11-23-2008, 11:48 AM

Still getting some error messages; can't remember what they were. Installed a bunch of crap from the SuSE Enterprise Linux CDs - my teacher is fine with me using RPMs now; she just wanted to be sure that I know how to install things from source if I ever need to.

I'll try to remember to post back this Monday.

Thanks again,
