Wow! Looks like a great program. I have been using nmap for quite some time and now it seems like theres something out there that is even better. Thanks darknet!

Yes, I can, but I wish to exhaust myself with trying to get it to work from source. That is how I have always been. Given, it has helped me learn a lot, but I am certain that I have lost a lot of hair and time over it.

@Sir Henry,

Can’t you use RPM’s with Ubuntu?

@goodpeople:

I am still having library issues with getting this set up, even without the postgres flag being removed from configure. I did try with MySQL (since it does reference that you are not using it in the configure results), but got a similar devel error as with postgres. Due to other items of higher priority (ramping up for my new job), I have let it lie for now.

I’m currently in the process of rebuilding my network at home, so unfortunately I don’t have a spare Linux box to test this on.

I was wondering about Sir Henry’s pgsql tho.. Why the pgsql and not mysql by default…

apt-get install libpcap0.8 libpcap0.8-dev flex-old bison libnet1 libnet1-dev

That did it for me after an Etch minimal setup.

Unicornscan wants to install to /usr/local/libexec/ by default – just create the dir if you’re lazy and you should be done

If you install the postgres-devel package, Unicornscan’s configure should be able to find libpq-fe.h. That should only be required if you’re using –with-pgsql in the configure. If you drop the –with-pgsql, you can compile unicornscan without database output support.

I have spent the last hour working on getting the source installed. Unfortunately, configure is looking for something that apparently cannot be found:

checking for PostgreSQL… configure: error: cant find PostgreSQL header libpq-fe.h

I have to wonder if it is due to the fact that I went the lazy way and just did apt-get install for PostgreSQL. Until I get this figured out, I will not be able to provide my initial thoughts. meh.
