BackTrack 4 R2 - Ferret Not Installed

[cseven]

Can someone please check to see if ferret is installed on a fresh install of BackTrack 4 R2 please.

I had to apt-get to install. Thanks.

It is installed, the menus have changed a bit.

K, It was in my menu but when I tried to run it I was told that ferret was not installed

try using locate and or find.
See their respective man pages for usage.

Thanks but I know how to use find. My question was based on the fact that I couldn't find it and that ferret was in the menu. Then when ran from the menu it showed me the following:

[0] /pentest/sniffers/hamster/ferret
-- FERRET 1.2.0 - 2008 (c) Errata Security
-- build = Mar 11 2009 17:41:22 (32-bits)
-- libpcap version 1.0.0
Usage:
 ferret -i <num>                 (where <num> is an interface to monitor)
 ferret -r <file1> <file2> ...   (where <files> contain captured packets)
 ferret -h                                               (for more help)
root@bt:/pentest/sniffers/hamster# ferret -i wlan0
The program 'ferret' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install ferret
bash: ferret: command not found
root@bt:/pentest/sniffers/hamster#

This lead me to think that maybe something wasn't packaged correctly in BT4 R2. It seemed easier to ask a simple question than do a full reinstall to answer my question but apparently that's what I should have done.

Ok I can confirm this now.

root@bt:~# cd /pentest/sniffers/hamster/       
root@bt:/pentest/sniffers/hamster# ls
favicon.ico  ferret  hamster  hamster.css  hamster.js
root@bt:/pentest/sniffers/hamster# ./ferret
The program 'ferret' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
