Hello debugers!

I've encountered problems with compiling kismet... In fact, the makefile routin is trying to make a symbolic link of a directory but this message 
appears and close unapproprietly the make of the application :

make[1]: Entre dans le répertoire `/mnt/win_e/kismet-2.8.1/libpcap-2002.12.23'
rm -f bpf_filter.c
ln -s /mnt/win_e/kismet-2.8.1/libpcap-2002.12.23/bpf/net/bpf_filter.c bpf_filter.c
ln: création d'un lien symbolique `bpf_filter.c' vers `/mnt/win_e/kismet-2.8.1/libpcap-2002.12.23/bpf/net/bpf_filter.c': Opération non permise
make[1]: *** [bpf_filter.c] Erreur 1
make[1]: Quitte le répertoire `/mnt/win_e/kismet-2.8.1/libpcap-2002.12.23'

I've the right to execute ln (I'm superuser) but I don't understand why this an unappropried way to manage with ln -s. May you help me??
Sincerely,
