Hello,
If you have installation problems with air-imager under backtrack operating system then there is a temporary solution of this. You will need to create a temp directory and then you will need the air-imager to place in that directory. Now copy all the binaries to the directory. Also you can create a symbolic link to it so that it can be executed from the terminal and to all users.
