Requirements: kernel headers and gcc installed on your system.
On Debian-based distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, ...), issue the following command in a console to install them:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-0.7.tar.gz tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-0.7.tar.gz cd aircrack-ng-0.7 make make install
svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/trunk/ aircrack-ng cd aircrack-ng #and as usual make make install
On Debian-based distros, if you get something similar to:
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-amd64-generic/build: No such file
or directory
Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-amd64-generic/build
is missing, please set KERNELPATH.
Stop.
Solution:
The build directory gets installed together with the kernel
headers, so either you lack the correct headers or your KERNELPATH is wrong.
Please check that `uname -r` returns “2.6.15-28-amd64-generic”.
Do a “sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`” or just “sudo apt-get install linux-headers”.
If uname returns exactly that string and the current headers are installed, the remove the headers and install them again. Also check /usr/src for installed header files, maybe it got mixed up for whatever reason.
In the above examples, needless to say, change “2.6.15-28-amd64-generic” to whatever you are running.
