Fedora 27安装reaver-1.4遇pcap library not found错误求助

Hey there, I see you're stuck with a pcap library not found error while trying to get reaver-1.4 running on Fedora 27, and the commands you tried didn't pan out—let's fix this right away.

The core issue here is that the package names you used are for Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, not Fedora (which uses RPM packages instead of DEB). Those libsqlite3-dev and libpcap0.8-dev packages don't exist in Fedora's repositories. Here's what you need to do instead:

Step 1: Install the Correct Dependencies #

Fedora uses different naming for development libraries. Run this command to install all required dependencies (including the pcap library and SQLite development files):

sudo dnf install libpcap-devel sqlite-devel gcc make

(Note: Fedora 27 uses dnf as the default package manager—yum still works, but dnf is the recommended tool here.)

Step 2: Compile and Install Reaver-1.4 (For Source Builds) #

Assuming you're installing reaver from the source code (since you specified reaver-1.4 specifically), follow these steps after setting up dependencies:

• Extract the source archive:

  tar xzf reaver-1.4.tar.gz
  cd reaver-1.4/src
  

• Run the configure script (this should now detect the pcap library without errors):

  ./configure
  

• Compile and install the tool:

  make && sudo make install
  

Verify the Fix #

To double-check that the pcap library is properly detected, run this command:

pkg-config --libs libpcap

You should see output pointing to the installed pcap library files, confirming the dependency is set up correctly.
