Issue with Python 2.6 and W3af

[frozenhell]

Hi there,

I have this when I try to run ./w3af

root@bt:/pentest/web/w3af# apt-get install  python-gtk2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-gtk2 is already the newest version.

root@bt:/pentest/web/w3af# ./w3af_gui
You have to install GTK and PyGTK versions >=2.12 to be able to run the GTK user interface.
    - On Debian based distributions: apt-get install python-gtk2
    - On Mac: sudo port install py25-gtk
root@bt:/pentest/web/w3af#

What s wrong ? It is asking for something already installed.

Thank you

Hi there,

I have similar problems as well trying to run w3af.

carl@bt:~/w3af# ./w3af_gui
Error: Python 2.5 was found and Python = 2.6 is required.
carl@bt:~/w3af#

Was going through the w3af user guide and it seems the python requirements to run the tool is only python 2.5 instead of 2.6.

Is there any guru out there that could help with this problem?

I tried to install python 2.6 but I'm just worried it will make matters worse. Hence, I'm not able to use w3af for now.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

I´m also having problems with the last version of w3af.

root@xxx:/pentest/web/w3af# ./w3af_console
Your python installation needs the following packages:
SOAPpy pyOpenSSL libxml2 pysvn scapy

On debian based systems:
sudo apt-get install python-soappy python-pyopenssl python-lxml python-svn python-scapy

On a mac with mac ports installed:
sudo port install py26-socket-ssl py26-openssl

root@xxx:/pentest/web/w3af# apt-get install python-soappy python-pyopenssl python-lxml python-svn python-scapy

Does anyone have this kind of issue?

I think you guys will have to wait for Backtrack 5 to come out to be able to use the latest w3af, it requires a newer version of python.
