Can not import dnet about libdnet HOT 25 CLOSED

Hi, do you still have a problem?
I got same problem, and it was solved by MacPorts.

I installed py26-libdnet from MacPorts, and copy its dnet.so 
file(/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/s
ite-packages/dnet.so
) to /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/dnet.so. Now py26-scapy(MacPorts) is 
working fine.

Issue 10 has been merged into this issue.

is there a solution?

I am having the exact same problem.  See 
http://code.google.com/p/pyrit/issues/detail?id=206&can=1&start=200 for 
details. I am running Mac Osx 10.6.4 with Python 2.6, 2.5,2.3 and trying to get 
Libdnet to work with Scapy to work with Pyrit. I used the tarball install 
because the dmg would not work with 2.6 only 2.5. So I installed everything on 
2.5 and my error is:

michael-chuas-macbook-pro:~ mchua79$ /usr/bin/python -c "from cpyrit import 
pckttools"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/cpyrit/pckttools.py", line 45, in <module>
    raise util.ScapyImportError(e)
cpyrit.util.ScapyImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/dnet.so,

  Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/dnet.so
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/dnet.so

During the configuration, there were some ERRORS that asked me to Report this 
to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. I attached the configuration log for your review.

If you could help us out it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much for 
your time and help.

Any chance you could help us out? We would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Seems there are something wrong when compile python support, so I copy dnet.so 
from internet to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages, and now, everything is OK.

Weekex, thanks so much for your response. I will try your solution when I get 
home later today.  What do you mean you copied dnet.so from the internet? What 
version are you using? Did you download dnet.so directly to the 
Libary/Python/2.5/site-packages? Or did you copy and paste from your download 
directory? Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, I download from internet and copy to /Libary/Python/2.5/site-packages.

BTW
I use python 2.5 and dnet 1.12

Could you send me a link? I tried downloading again and copying to 
/Libary/Python/2.5/site-packages and it still does not work. Maybe I have a bad 
copy? I am downloading from here: http://libdnet.sourceforge.net/ Thanks.

 Symbol not found: _addr_bcast <---- What does this mean??????  So frustrated, can anyone help me???

Mr.Fink or Mr.Song, are you out there? Can you help me with this?  If not, let 
me know and I will give up on this project.  I have spent days researching this 
on the web with no luck. I am at my witts end here.

Any news on a resolution to this issue?

As a workaround, you can also open 
"/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/scapy/arch/unix.py"
 and change "scapy.config.conf.use_dnet = 1" to "scapy.config.conf.use_dnet = 0"

Sorry I have exactly the same problem, please, please, respond, is it already 
solved or a known issue and still no solution.

I am using python2.7 on ubuntu 12.04, I have done 'sudo apt-get install libdnet 
libdnet-dev' as well as installing 'libdnet-1.12.tgz' but sill cannot import 
dnet and this is the error:

>>> import dnet
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named dnet
>>>

Alright,

So got it all figured out I hope with the following workaround for Mac OS Xes:

CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' ./configure --prefix=/usr
archargs='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' make
sudo make install
cd python
sudo python setup.py install

Same issues here,  I am working on a Debian 7.
Installed libdnet-1.12 via ./configure and make as told in the INSTALL 
instructions.
Then went into the python folder and tried python setup.py install, but it 
aborts with the following error:

running install
