Re: Errors installing SNORT 2.9 to SuSE Linux 12.2 - rpm or tar.gz

["Kurt Jensen CISSP" <kjensencissp () gmail com>]

Joel,

You are right about that, got me, there is a space in that folder name.  I can rework that and eliminate the space 
since it may matter.  

When I started pulling in all the Snort and necessary downloads I created the "legal" folder names the system allowed 
me to make, but I would be surprised that it matter since I just thought of these as source folders for my downloads, 
but not any part of functional part of the install....

Most of my work life day to day has been with Windows so I am most attuned to the way that path structure works - ouch. 
(:>)

Separately, on the "rpm" package method that finally installed once I tried the 5MB package of Snort rather than the 
2.4MB rpm.  For some reason up until that point I always received that "install failed - nothing provides 
libcrypto.so.10" message (my paraphrase of the exact message here).  However I could never locate such a crypto package 
to install and fix it elsewhere, and in spite of having current SSH and related dev libraries for that and several 
other crypto mechanisms present on my system.

I was just looking at it from 

"/home/user/Download/Snort IDS/snort-2.9.4.1/src/win32"

There is a space between "Snort" and "IDS".
