I have installed Ubuntu Linux 14.04.2LTS from official WiKi and added AirCrack-NG (for wireless auditing) suite by following official docs too (the official aircrack-ng package was obsolete).

But now I am not able to find the besside-ng program:

luis@Zarzamoro:~/Temporal/aircrack-ng$ sudo find / -name "besside-ng*"
/usr/local/share/man/man8/besside-ng.8
/usr/local/share/man/man1/besside-ng-crawler.1

Using another SD card, I have then installed Kali Linux for RaspBerry, and this one seems to have besside-ng inside:

luis@VirtuKali:~$ sudo find / -name "besside-ng*"
/usr/bin/besside-ng-crawler
/usr/share/man/man8/besside-ng.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/besside-ng-crawler.1.gz
/usr/sbin/besside-ng

I have tried copying the /usr/sbin/besside-ng file from Kali to Ubuntu, but, even when the program starts, it seems not to behave all right:

luis@Zarzamoro:~/Hackeando/PrimoNico/besside-ng$ sudo besside-ng wlan0mon -v
[16:56:10] mac 00:1a:ef:17:79:ff
[16:56:10] Let's ride

besside-ng: wi_read(): No such file or directory
luis@Zarzamoro:~/Hackeando/PrimoNico/besside-ng$ sudo besside-ng wlan0mon -v
[16:56:28] mac 00:1a:ef:17:79:ff
[16:56:28] Let's ride

[16:56:28] Appending to wep.cap
[16:56:28] Logging to besside.log
besside-ng: wi_read(): No child processes

What could I do to make besside-ng work?
It seems to be a part of the AirCarck-NG suite, so I can not install it separately.

Answer extracted from the generic Linux forum here :

Even when they have been working very well during years, some features of AirCrack-NG are still (on August 2015) considered as experimental, so you need to install the SVN development version to obtain them (Kali Linux includes it, but Ubuntu repositories don't):

Compile SVN version adding experimental features:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
$ svn co http://svn.aircrack-ng.org/trunk/ aircrack-ng
$ cd aircrack-ng
$ make sqlite=true experimental=true
# make sqlite=true experimental=true install

According to official docs, this SVN version adds some tools like Tkiptun-ng, Easside-ng (and buddy-ng), Wesside-ng and Besside-ng.

You can even add what the papers call external scripts like Airoscript-ng, Versuck-ng, Airgraph-ng and Airdrop-ng if the make options are:

make sqlite=true experimental=true ext_scripts=true
make sqlite=true experimental=true ext_scripts=true install

Tested working fine on Ubuntu 14.04LTS for RaspBerry Pi 2.
