found one solution, but many more problems.

I found this answer to my first problem with Samhain under Knoppix, but it is a very "thorny" install; problems abound. Could you pop in a knoppix disk, and do a clean compile, so that I could know how to do it? Maybe Samhain could even be integrated into a knoppix release if it works, but the install needs to go smoother.

The -f-stack-protector option protects against buffer overflows on the stack (if there are any). To improve security, Samhain uses it if available. Seems that while you are not meant having to add '-lssp' for the libssp library, it occasionally won't work otherwise. I.e. before running 'configure' do this:

LIBS="-lssp"; export LIBS
