Hello, Greetings,It is my pleasure to join this mailing list. May I post my first message? Thanks.
I got some problems in installing libpcap and Snort. Problem 1: When install libpcap-0.6 under Solaris 8 in SPARC: # libpcap-0.4# ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8 checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8 checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8 checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking gcc version... 2 checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for malloc.h... no checking for sys/ioccom.h... no checking for sys/sockio.h... no checking for ANSI ioctl definitions... no configure: error: see the INSTALL for more info Problem 2: After install Snort on RH Linux 7.1: /usr/loca/bin# ./snort Log directory = Reading Conf File... Initializing Network Interface ppp0 using config file /root/.snortrc Initializing Preprocessors! Initializing Plug-ins! Initializating Output Plugins! Parsing Rules file /root/.snortrc +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Initializing rule chains... ERROR: Unable to open rules file: /root/.snortrc or /root//root/.snortrc Fatal Error, Quitting.. /usr/loca/bin#The first problem seems gcc has something wrong. Actually the gcc 2.93 was loaded with Solaris 8 on the system.
The second problem has no any clue. Would you help? Thank you in advance!
