unicornscan fails to start. cannot open shared library libpcap.so.0.8, no such file.

[skorski]

Error experienced in VirtualBox 64bit GNOME environment.
In reference to http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/...hp/Unicornscan

#unicornscan -epgsqldb <TARGET IP>
unicornscan: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

#whereis libpcap.*
libpcap: /usr/lib/libpcap.so /usr/lib/libpcap.a /usr/lib64/libpcap.so /usr/lib64/libpcap.a

Oddly enough, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH returns null after a fresh BT5 install. I would figure at least the shared libraries paths would be listed here. Even after manually updating $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, deleting libpcap.so and finally soft linking libpcap0.8.so to libpcap.so, unicorn throws the same error.

apt-get install --reinstall libpcap0.8

Does not help either.

Has anyone else noticed this yet?

I've got the same issue here on BT5-KDE-64 =(

I can also verify this in gnome 64 installed to hard drive.

I did a

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

unicornscan will now run but I'm getting this error

unicornscan 192.168.0.6
Error Opening file /usr/local/etc/unicornscan/GeoIP.dat
Main [Error   report.c:73] error opening geoip database `/usr/local/etc/unicornscan//GeoIP.dat': No such file or directory

It was with this same problem, solved with a little line:

cp /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat /usr/local/etc/unicornscan/
