the error stopping air from loading is that it simply cannot find it's images. not sure what the real fix should be, but you can edit /usr/bin/air and change:

my $bitmap_dir="/pentest/misc/air-imager//share/air/bitmaps";
my $air_log_dir = "/pentest/misc/air-imager//share/air/logs";

to

my $bitmap_dir="/usr/share/air/bitmaps";
my $air_log_dir = "/usr/share/air/logs";

for now that gets it to load. i haven't tried actually using it yet. note that the air installation script complains about dependencies:

The uudecode program could not be found on your system.
This installer can't proceed without it. uudecode is
part of the sharutils package. Please install sharutils

Perl/Tk is not installed on your system or you have a version
(804.028) other than what is called for, so for the installation
to proceed, it will have to be downloaded from the CPAN site on
the Internet.

i'm not sure if either of these need addressing yet.
