I just thought I’d include a list of packages that I needed to install on my FC5 machine to get dsniff to compile.
- db4-devel : Berkeley database libraries
- libpcap : Libpcap
- libnet : (API for network packet injection)
- libnids : Network Intrusion Detection System (I got it from dries)
- openssl-devel : OpenSSL libraries
After I installed these, the configure script completed, then I got some errors with make. I later realized that I ran into some major dependency-hell. Dsniff development stopped almost 6 years ago, and in that time, libnet and libnids have changed. I tried to find some older versions of the libraries, but no luck getting them old enough. I later found a couple rpms on the following site, but should I really trust them?
