I encountered various errors when compiling wepattack. This download does not come with a makefile that is compatible with the ubuntu distro that backtrack uses. First of all make sure that the wlan directory that you get when untarring the .tar.gz archive has execute permissions set to it.
$ cd WepAttack-0.1.3/src
$ chmod +x wlan
Once this is done “permission denied” errors should go.

The following patch file will take care of most errors and you should be able to get Wepattack compiled properly:

Copy the above patch in to a file called wepattack.patch. Copy wepattack.patch into the WepAttack-0.1.3 directory and patch it as follows:
$ patch -p1 <wepattack.patch
$ cd src
make
sudo make install
You should be able to get wepattack installed!
