    Do I need to manually install ipsc? If so how? Google doesn't provide any good answers.
    Thanks.

    Sorry about that, there was a "chicken and egg" issue in the configuration/build procedure which we think we've resolved in the "dev" area.

    Unfortunately, we are having some issues with subversion at sourceforge at the moment and can not currently merge the updates from the "dev" area to the "trunk".

    If you have the "dev" area checked out, can you try updating and re-configuring and let us know if the updates have fixed the issue you are running into.

    If you have the "trunk" area checked out, you are going to need to be patient until we get the subversion issue at sourceforge worked out.

    This time I checkedout dev and performed the ./configure and received the same error it looks like:

    Could you do me a favor and run the "svn info" directory in your top level directory and paste the results? We have been having issues with our transition to the new SourceForge subversion area and I want to make sure that you are using the new area (see: https://sourceforge.net/p/nst/code/4418/tree/) and not the old one.

    As a work around to the issue, can you try the following commands after the configure fails:

    1. Change to the yum sub-directory
    2. Run the command: make ipsc
    3. Search for the ipsc RPM package (if it builds it will show up somewhere under the repo directory).
    4. Yum install the ipsc RPM by hand
    5. Then go back to the top level directory and try running ./configure again

    I'm sorry that things have not been going well. We have been fighting with some subversion issues out at SourceForge for the past week. Do NOT use the "trunk" area, it has become corrupted. We have created a new top level "repo" area to take it's place. Try using the following to checkout the code:

    svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/repo nst-code

    It's unfortunate that the workaround on the old subversion area did not work. We think we have a fix in the "repo" area mentioned above so hopefully you want run into the problem if you run a "./configure" and "make".

    The directions you are following for the 2.15.0 build are close (except for the initial subversion check out) to what is required to build the current NST 18 source code. At some point I will create a new build machine and document the process for building NST 18.

    You are almost there.

    You are making good progress! At this point, it looks like you have successfully built the NST yum repository (it is located under the yum/repo directory).

    The error looks like your system is having a problem updating the clamav definition files. Each time we build a ISO image, we update the clamav definition files and copy the current definitions to the ISO image which is generated.

    Try running the following from the command line:

    sudo freshclam -v

    (you can leave off the sudo if you are logged in as the root user).

    If the command fails, check your /etc/freshclam.conf file. I know at one point, Fedora's default configuration had a line near the top "Example" that you had to comment out in order to get freshclam to run.

    Paul,
    looks like the make is going now. I am guessing this will take some time. If it builds the ISO I might not be able to install it until Friday or two Mondays from now.
    I will post the results when I know. Thanks for the support on this. Keep up the great work. NST saves me so much time (normally)

    Darn, Looks like I am still having an issue. Not sure what to make of it but no file is in the nst-code/nst-18-4420 folder (if that is where it would show up)

    For some reason it looks like the netwag build is failing to find a terminal emulator on your development system. I'm not sure why it didn't find gnome-terminal.

    I rebuilt the package on my system and it found the "xterm" emulator (here is the section of the build log on my machine that overlaps the section where you encountered an error).

    Checking Tcl/Tk
     bin_wish not forced, so try to find it
     wish8 not found
     wish8.6 not found
     Tcl/Tk interpreter found at /usr/bin/wish8.5

    Can you try yum installing the xterm package:

    yum install xterm
    

    Let me know if that fixes your issue (if so, I will add the xterm package as one of the packages we check for during the configuration process).

     
  • Paul Blankenbaker

    I am a bit confused at why you are seeing issues related to /bin/perl, /bin/python and /bin/wish8.5. I don't see how these executables can be missing from your system.

    I'm going to suggest the following things to try (but at the moment I'm just guessing).

    1. Try rebuilding the four packages with errors shown above:
    cd yum
    make BackupPC-remove netwag-remove nmap-remove u2ps-remove
    make BackupPC netwag nmap u2ps
    
    1. See if you are able to install one of the packages (like nmap) onto your development system (you shouldn't have to install it - but just to verify that the package will install):
    sudo yum install yum/repo/i686/nmap-6.25-1.100.nst18.i686.rpm
    
    1. If that works, reboot your system and try configuring and building the ISO again.

    If that doesn't work, you may want to consider contacting me directly via e-mail and we can try and work out something so I can ssh into your development machine to see what is going on. Otherwise, you may need to be patient until I set up a new development machine and start the process of documenting the build of NST 18.

    Paul,
    I will try this. It is probably because I downloaded Fedora 18 and performed a fresh install, I did not download any other packages, maybe I didn't download the correct Fedora to begin with. I have training next week but I will update this thread when I can.
    Is there a ETA on a published NST 18 yet? I started building myself because I wasn't sure when you planned on the next release and I need the latest version of SNORT and want to check out the NTOP version also. Thanks again.

    I am not sure if BackupPC worked or not as some parts said successfully install but last line was 'error 2' I rebooted and tried again but see below....
    I have not tried gotomeeting before on a linux box before so not sure what tools you have in mind to connect. maybe join.me would work. Let me know what you want to do.

    Sorry for the long delay in the response.

    I have done the following:

    • Cleaned up a few items in the top level configure script to stream line the build process.
    • Created instructions for building NST 18 from the source (http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nstwiki/index.php/HowTo_Build_NST_18)
    • Set up a Fedora 18 64 bit virtual machine running under VirtualBox and followed the instructions in the link above.

    Everything worked as expected (other than the www.thc.org web site being down when I did my build - I had to work around not being able to download source code for a couple of the packages).

    So, I'm not sure what to tell you about the dependency issues you are having in your area.

    Could you try checking out a fresh copy of the 'repo' area and building again? You can save a lot of time if you copy or move the 'yum/cache' and 'livecd/cache' directories from your old area into the new area you check out.

    As a side note, we did release NST 18 this weekend (there is a 32 bit ISO available at SourceForge).

    Good Luck,
    Paul

    Make sure you are NOT running as root or stepped up to superuser. Run the "./configure ; make" as a plain user that has sudo access to root with no password. That was my solution for this exact problem.

    If you've already encountered this error, you may have to blow away your checkout directory or run "make clear ; rm -rf yum/repo" as root and then run "./configure ; make" as a regular user.
