OK, no problem: snort and libpcap and yacc and Debian...

[Francesca Milanini <francesca.milanini () fastwebnet it>]

www.debian.org print "Bison a better Yacc", but...
I have changed my "sources.list" and used "apt-get update" 
(Debian Woody) and "apt-cache search libpcap"
and "apt-get install libpcap-dev", so the libraries of "libpcap-dev"
("dpkg -L libpcap-dev") allows to install Snort, without installing
"libpcap"
bye, Francesca
