Problem with ssdp script.

[UndyingHippocracy]

(OS: CentOS 6)
Recently I've been trying to run my ssdp scanner off of my VPS and this has been the result everytime:


./ssdpscan: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory.


I uploaded the file from my VM to the VPS through the FTP and used "sudo chmod +x ./ssdpscan" to make he application.
I don't know what the issue is because I checked to see if libpcap needed to be updated
and it is currently on the latest version. (I'm on an ssh terminal btw) please if anyone has a solution to this tell me.

./ssdpscan: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory.

Which is means "libpcap is not installed". Try yum install libpcap to install the library.

It reads:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Nothing to do

Then you have different version of libpcap in your system, I guess newer version.

You can create a symlink from your existing version to the new one using ln -s <source> <target> command.

usage something like:
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap<your_version> /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8

You can check libpcap version by ls /usr/bin/libpcap*
Obviously, you have 1.4.0-1 version but your libpcap file can be named differently.

I'm still getting the same error, do you think that this might be
happening because I'm on an OVH VPS?

No.

Could you please show me output of ls -l /usr/lib/libpcap*

[UndyingHippocracy]

This is the result:

[KryDos]

symlink is wrong.

create symlink with source libpcap.so.1

[UndyingHippocracy]

I used:
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8


and it's giving me the same error still

[KryDos]

Could you show me output of previous (ls -l ...) command? Just to be sure that you did symlink right.

And if symlink was created without errors then I guess it's not possible to see "No such file or directory" error

Sure thing:

[KryDos]

Sure thing:

As for me the most interesting things (output of commands) are not available on your screenshot...

[UndyingHippocracy]

What would you want me to screenshot?

[KryDos]

What would you want me to screenshot?

ls -l /usr/lib/libpcap*
./ssdpscan
