make, make install. Well, this approach works perfectly until software doesn't have a lot of dependencies which are difficult to carry out manually.. That happened to me when I tried manually to install dsniff under Debian. The command apt-cache search dsniff didn't find the required package and therefore I downloaded sources and tried to install them manually. No success, coz there were required many other libraries to be installed which on the other hand couldn't not be installed due to conflicts with already installed software..
Since I am a newbie to debian I didn't know that there are stable and unstable branches in the package manager and so didn't find dsniff under stable branch. Here is a way how to install dsniff:
- first update your package list with unstable software:
- then install the package:
apt-get -t unstable update
apt-get install dsniff
