I got some trouble running pyrit0.4.0 on a Debian etch machine (can't upgrade for now) with Python2.6, and libpcap1.0.0.

db431:~/pyrit-0.4.0# python setup.py build svn: '.' is not a working copy running build running build_py running build_ext

running build_scripts

db431:~/pyrit-0.4.0# python setup.py install svn: '.' is not a working copy running install running build running build_py running build_ext running build_scripts running install_lib writing byte-compilation script '/tmp/tmpGNyXfO.py' /usr/local/bin/python -O /tmp/tmpGNyXfO.py removing /tmp/tmpGNyXfO.py running install_scripts changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pyrit to 755 running install_egg_info Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyrit-0.4.0-py2.6.egg-info

db431:~/pyrit-0.4.0# pyrit -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pyrit", line 4, in <module> import pyrit_cli File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyrit_cli.py", line 32, in <module> import cpyrit.cpyrit File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cpyrit/cpyrit.py", line 41, in <module> import util File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cpyrit/util.py", line 52, in <module> import _cpyrit_cpu

ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cpyrit/_cpyrit_cpu.so: undefined symbol: pcap_datalink_val_to_name

As i understand, it's a libpcap issue but I can't find any help on googling "undefined symbol: pcap_datalink_val_to_name". I've seen some post without any answer for some of the other errors but those are GPU-related, I only want pyrit to run on CPU (Xeon @ 16 cores).

I can provide more information if needed.

I couldnt find information on that either and there is nothing Pyrit can do about it. Please ask the Debian guys either on a mailing list, their bug tracker or IRC. Libpcap 1.0 should provide this symbol.
