Re: snort 1.9.1 with redhat 8.0 and libnet 1.0.2.a

Okay I figured this out.

if you compile with these options if will fail:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-openssl=/usr --enable-flexresp
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr --with-libpcap-includes=/usr

If I dropped some options off it worked:

./configure --enable-flexresp --with-mysql=/usr && make && make install

I didn't change anything used the same Libnet 1.0.2a that was
installed.  NOTE:  I was upgrading from Snort 1.9.0 on Red Hat 8 to
snort 1.9.1.  I haven't had time to look at the configure script to see
where it is broken.

Snorters,
I have been running snort 1.9.0 fine.  I tried to upgrade a redhat 8.0
system to snort 1.9.1 and I get the error:

checking for libnet.h... no

   ERROR!  Libnet header not found, go get it from

   or use the --with-libnet-* options, if you have it installed
   in unusual place

Here are the options I am using to compile:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-openssl=/usr --enable-flexresp
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr --with-libpcap-includes=/usr

I have reloaded the libnet 1.0.2a in an attempt to ensure the libnet
1.0.2a is working.  I have tried to add the --with-libnet-* options. 
I have tested libnet and it works fine with other tools.  Is this a
redhat issue? 

Anyone else try snort 1.9.1 on redhat 8.0 with libnet 1.0.2a and
flexresp option on?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
