[sleuthkit-users] sleuthkit on Ubuntu

[Sorrelle M. W C. AFOSI/D. <mic...@og...>]

Hello,

 

I just joined this list, so if my question is in a FAQ, my apologies; just
point me to that.

 

Has anyone tried to build/install sleuthkit on Ubuntu Linux?

I have a completely fresh/clean installation of Ubuntu (+ development
tools), but TSK won't build.  I get the following errors:

"In file included from aff_db.cpp:8:

 afflib_i.h:53:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

 afflib_i.h:60:26: error: openssl/rand.h: No such file or directory

 make: *** [aff_db.o] Error 1

 make: *** [no-perl] Error 2"

 

FYI, perl IS installed: version 5.8.7

 

Any hints/tips will be appreciated.

I apologize for asking such basic questions.  However, your email did
not include this information and just assuming that you have already
answered these questions would slow down any sort of helpful response
this list may provide.

Do the openssl.h and zlib.h files exist on your system?

If so, did you use the expected procedure to get the package that
contains them installed?

If not, can you alter your 'configure' command to include their locations?

The problem is that AFFLIB (for the AFF image format) requires zlib and=20
openssl, both of which do not seem to be included with Ubuntu by=20
default.  You will need to install those packages and libraries. Most=20
systems come with those libraries, but Ubuntu does not seem to (I went=20
through the same pain a couple of months ago setting a system up).

Also, someone else had issues compiling Kubuntu with the version of=20
AFFLIB that was included in tsk 2.04, so you should probably update the=20
AFFLIB with the latest version:

1.  Download version 1.6.26
http://www.afflib.org/downloads/afflib-1.6.26.tar.gz

2.  Untar it.

3.  Remove the src/afflib directory from TSK.

4.  Move the afflib-1.6.26 directory to src/afflib (be sure you name it=20
afflib and not afflib-1.6.26).

5. Compile TSK as normal.


Now that TSK requires external libraries, I may need to start using=20
autoconf so that these dependencies can be sorted out before compiling...=
.
