[ale] Install help

[Mark Wright]

Hi all,

I consider myself a real geek but Linux sometimes makes me feel like  
a n00b winders luser all because I don't write my own programs.  I  
understand programming a bit, Fortran in College,  and I have done  
extensive script writing in the past but nothing humbles me like the  
'make install --Not OK' loop I get into sometimes.  I have installed  
a dozen or so programs successfully but this one has been going bad  
from the start.

I am trying to install Aimsniff.  (www.aimsniff.com)

In the Readme the author says bluntly he doesn't support windows  
because he only wants serious responsible users.  He states that real  
network professionals know 'nix.  I like his attitude.

He has provided bare bones install instructions.  I am using Ubuntu  
5.10.  He lists dependancies but they do not look like programs or  
libraries to me so I don't know how to check for them.

Here is the list of the dependancies.

Requires Samba to perform SMB lookup features.
Requires the following perl modules:
Net::Pcap;
NetPacket::Ethernet qw(:strip);
NetPacket::IP qw(:strip);
NetPacket::TCP;
NetPacket::UDP;
DBI;
Unicode::String qw(utf8 latin1 utf16);
Proc::Daemon;
Proc::Simple;
FileHandle;
Unix::Syslog;
GDBM_File;

I installed smb from Ubuntu's wonderful package manager.  In the FAQ  
the Aimsniff author wrote a script to install the needed Perl pieces  
by using CPAN but he says that Net::Pcap should be installed from  
source.  When I run the script all the 'makes' that it tries to do fail.

Can anyone tell me how to get these dependancies satisfied and move  
forward?

Thanks,
Mark
