Re: Installing Snort on a Red Hat 8 or 9

You are not looking carefully... you are greping for "libcap" but you need
to be looking for "libpcap" (spot the extra "p" in the middle)... libcap is
not the same as lib*P*cap

  You are grepping for libcap, what you need is libpcap.  rpm -qa | grep
libpcap, see if that is installed.

  Check This



  checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... no



     ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
     http://www.tcpdump.org
     or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
     in unusual place

  this happen when I make a configure of snort



  and now check this



  # rpm -qa | grep libcap
  libcap-1.10-12



  I have installed(By system default) this ver of libcap, but snort is
asking me by a lower ver of it, and my question is How I can use my
installed version instead the lower that snort need?



  Even when I use the param --with-libpcap-includes
or --with-libpcap-libraries and I give it the path of the libraries the
error persist

    If you would like a good, basic document from which to install Snort
    on a RH9 or Fedora Core 1 box, go to www.ntsug.com and download
    Patrick Harper's paper.  There are several versions there, one should
    fit your needs.  It is a paper that will require you to reload your
    machine, but will provide the correct information necessary to
    successfully install both RH9 and Snort.

    a red hat 9, and it's asking by libcap 0.6 but red hat 8 and 9
    install 1.0 by default, what I can do??
