Output of which snort:
/usr/bin/which: no snort in
(/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

So this is telling me that even though I did a make install, it did
not in fact, install anywhere?  So where did I go wrong with this?  It
was working two weeks ago and something happened (maybe a RHEL update)
and now this.

Getting ready to format reinstall if I can't figure this out.

Are you trying to start Snort with a script?  What is the path it is using?
By default, you should find snort in /usr/local/bin.  Does `which snort`
find a snort in the place you/your script expects?

I appreciate the obvious suggestions. I redid everything, starting with
make distclean. ./configure --enable-inline --enable-sourcefire
--enable-reload. make. make install.

Same results - command not found.

Did you run "make install"?



Don't want to ask the obvious questions, but sometimes it's the little
things that we miss.

Sorry, I remember that now. Though I had already saved that, but seems
I was wrong.

Anyway, I was able to successfully configure and make, but when all
said and done, it is still giving me the "-bash: snort: command not found"
problem.

This one came up before ... try adding this line to the inline.c
includes:



#include



Snort has to work around a broken include.

I had set-up a Snort box running on RHEL 5.4 and all was good. Now
it is a few weeks alter, and I am not sure what happened but I went to check
the Snort and it was not running. When I tried to restart, I go the error:
"-bash: snort: command not found". Not knowing what could've happened,
because all the files and configs and what-not are where I expect them to
be. So I tried to recompile (make distclean, ./configure --enable-sourcefire
--enable-reload --enable-inline), thinking a recent RHEL update may have
messed things up, and during the make I get the following:



inline.c: In function âRejectLayer2â:

inline.c:591: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

make[3]: *** [inline.o] Error 1

HUH? Any ideas on what's going on here and how do i fix this so I
can get this back online?



V/r,
