Ettercap


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty new to linux, and I'm trying to install ettercap, I got an error when I tried to ./configure saying that my versions of gtk+-, atk, glib and pango are too low, so I've tried to install all of the above packages, and they seemed to install with no errors, I did ./configure, then make, then make install as root, but when I try to install gtk+- or ettercap, I still get errors saying that my versions of glib, pango and atk are too low, so the configuring never finishes. I'v also tried to install the dependancies listed at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/dependencies/ but it didn't help.

I'm not sure whether these programs/libraries are installed or not. Pls help

What distro are you using?

If you have an RPM-based distro, you can see what packages are installed by:

rpm -qa

this will list them all (and your screen will scroll them and you can look through them)

It would be easier to use grep to filter them and look for specific things like:

rpm -qa | grep glib

to show all entries that have "glib" in them (my system has 8 entries).

I'm using mandrake 9.2, and I also have eight entries, but I'm still stuck as to how I install the packages, In the README and INSTALL files, It says to type './configure', then 'make' then as root, 'make install' which I've done but the programs don't seem to be installed. Am I missing something? :unsure:

Did any of those steps report an error?

Also, doing an install from source will not usually put an entry into your KDE or Gnome menus. It will install the program, though - and you can add the program to the menus where you like.

Did you try running the program through the shell (command line)?
