Chris
Thankyou.  Sam is hopefully having alook on our development m/c when he
gets a free moment and we will see whether he thinks that it is fixable.
If not we will look at the GCC route.
Tks

After struggling for a day to get all the components, libpcap etc and

compiled on our Alpha, snort itself fails catastrophically.  Configure did
not show any errors and I can mail the configs if required.  
The first problem was that tru-unix does not allow defines where the # is
in any other position than column 1.  I fixed that by running through the
src with a sed. 



However, sample output below suggests that tru-unix may not be
supported fully.

It probably isn't.  There are alignment issues that we hope to get rid
of some day.  One thing that it appears is that you are missing the
#define DEBUG_WRAP(...)

Maybe that's not supposed on your platform. Don't know.  There is
someone on snort-devel attempting to do a patch for sparc to resolve
alignment issues.
