First of all, I'd like to thank all those that wrote to me and helped me, especially Olivier Grumelard that took the time and had the patience to push me in the right direction. This is the error you'll enconter when compiling libpcap with make install-incl: root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4# make install-incl /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./pcap.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap.h /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./pcap-namedb.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap-namedb.h /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./net/bpf.h \ /usr/local/include/net/bpf.h /usr/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/include/net/bpf.h': No such file or directory make: *** [install-incl] Error 1 root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4# What you have to do is a little strange (for a newbie, not for a pro ;-) As you can see it complains for the lack of /net/bpf.h. You can find that file here: root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4# cd net root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4/net# ls bpf.h bpf.h root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4/net# If you go where it's looking for the file you'll notice it's not there: root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4/net# cd /usr/local/include/ root@io:/usr/local/include# ls pcap-namedb.h pcap.h root@io:/usr/local/include# cd net bash: cd: net: No such file or directory So, you make the directory: root@io:/usr/local/include# mkdir net root@io:/usr/local/include# cd net root@io:/usr/local/include/net# cd /home/leandro/libpcap-0.4/net/ Then you copy the file over from where the source tree is: root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4/net# cp bpf.h /usr/local/include/net/bpf.h And then make install-incl again: root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4# make install-incl /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./pcap.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap.h /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./pcap-namedb.h \ /usr/local/include/pcap-namedb.h /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin ./net/bpf.h \ /usr/local/include/net/bpf.h root@io:/home/leandro/libpcap-0.4# No complains. At this point, you can untarball Snort and install it and all you're left to do is configure it. Which is what I'll do right now ;-) Hope this helps any of you, leandro ___ leandro asnaghi-nicastro - editor in chief capital of nasty - http://www.capnasty.org leandro () capnasty org - icq uin: 889318 [something profound goes here] _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
