I have been trying for a day now to install a package thats given as source code and everything i have tried gives me errors and i would like to know if theres a way to look in the files or something other than looking on the Internet or site of the program for dependencies.

The aircrack ng page has the instructions:
Kernel headers and gcc as well as make have to be installed on your system. On Debian-based distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, …), issue the following command in a console to install them:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
OpenSSL (development).
It is called openssl-dev or libssl-dev depending on your distribution.
On ubuntu it's libssl-dev, so the full command to install the build dependencies is:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
