[X-Unix] Installing kismet using Fink

[Ryan Duff]

I did recently (2 weeks ago) try to install kismet and got the same error. I
gave up and used kismac instead. I went back and picked up from where I left
off after reading this email and had it compiling correctly within 15
minutes. Here are the steps you need to take to get it to install correctly:

1. Go to dopesquad.org and download this file...
http://www.dopesquad.net/security/Viha-0.0.1a.tar.gz

2. As per the readme after it unzips, copy the wifi.framework folder to your
/library/frameworks folder. You can also copy the stumbler executable into
your /bin or /usr/bin folder (keep in mind you need to sudo to copy
something into the /bin folder), however, I'm not sure if you necessarily
copy the stumbler file or not for it to work. I did anyway.

3. Run a 'fink install system-viha'
	- it should now find the binary wifi.framework that it needed 
	and complete without problems.

4. Run 'fink install kismet' and it should ask you a few things and compile.



Its currently compiling on my 700mhz 14" iBook with out any problems.

Subject: [X-Unix] Installing kismet using Fink

I recently (okay that would be lying -- make that a few months ago) tried to
install kismet using Fink. Everything seems to go well except for the
viha-driver, which fails to install. I tried this on many different machines
which all responded with the same error messages...

xerxes:~ supernaut$ fink install kismet

It seems to be complaining against a missing framework, but the details
seems scarce. I am posting this in hope that someone better informed could
enlighten me on what package this aforementionned package would be part of.
