I am trying to install Aircrack-ng. All of the instructions are working now up until the point of doing the make. When I issue make I get the following error.
root@ubuntu:~/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc1# make make -C src all make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ubuntu/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc1/src' gcc -g -W -Wall -O3 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REVISION=0 -DCONFIG_LIBNL30 -DCONFIG_LIBNL -I/usr/include/libnl3 -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-array-bounds -Iinclude wpaclean.o osdep/radiotap/radiotap.o -o wpaclean -Losdep -losdep -lnl-genl-3 -lnl-3 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnl-genl-3 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:189: recipe for target 'wpaclean' failed make[1]: * [wpaclean] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntu/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc1/src' Makefile:25: recipe for target 'all' failed make: * [all] Error 2
Anyone have a clue how to fix this error?
I have tried using Aircrack on several Linux distribution and issues like this one happened quite often (usually because of dependency problems).
I solved all problems by installing Backtrack, which contains all the packages you need, pre-installed.
You can install it to USB drive as well
