RE: Libnet broken on FBSD? can't compile 1.9 stable?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, After many months observing users attempting to use libnet-1.1.x with snort, I modified the autoconf configuration to make sure that a user attempting to use libnet-1.1.x would be told it is incompatible with snort and that they must use 1.0.2a. Also, while testing libnet-1.0.2a on various platforms, I discovered that libnet-config is broken in many environments. FreeBSD just happened to be the first I came across. Many Linux distributions also ship a broken version of libnet-config. If you are using snort with flexresp and configure produces warnings telling you that libnet-config is broken, DON'T PANIC! Snort will attempt to locate a suitable libnet header and library automatically if libnet-config is broken. If libnet-config is broken in your environment and you have installed libnet using a package of some sort, it certainly couldn't hurt to tell the package maintainer. All of the available documentation already reflects this, but I wanted to reiterate that the only version of libnet supported by Snort is 1.0.2a. Thanks for using snort, snortees. - -Jeff - --On Saturday, March 01, 2003 08:02:39 -0500 "Scheidell () secnap com" <Scheidell () secnap com> wrote:
So, I'm confused, you're trying to install a beta of 2.0 on FreeBSD or the verion in ports (1.9.0)? I use the version in ports, and it installs just fine on my 4.7-RELEASE system and my -STABLE system.No, I want the CVS version of snort 1.9 with the bug fixes. its not in 'ports'See ports/devel/automake16Are you saying automake16 should compile? cd /usr/ports make update cd devel/automake16 make ===> automake17-1.7.2,1 is marked as broken: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT..:: I had to install the libnet-devel version in ports (1.1.0) You should only need to install libnet if you're using flexrep. If you're not, you can get away without it.I want to use it. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
