Guillaume, thanks for your reply. I had already tested with and without the trailing slash, but that did not change things... :-( Great suggestion the one regarding strace... I installed it and ran it, but it really does not show anything like *where* it's looking for the libraries (at least, not to me; there's not much text in the output... it's mainly hex addresses, pointer values, and the like). Any other ideas, out there ?
Well... try this: [root@ed snort-2.0.1]# strace -f `pwd`/configure 2>&1 | grep pcap "-f" stands for follow forks. You didn't see it because configure is starting subshells for some tests so this ist the output on my system. write(1, "checking for pcap_datalink in -l"..., 40checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... ) = 40 [pid 5344] execve("/usr/bin/gcc", ["gcc", "-o", "conftest", "-g", "-O2", "-Wall", "conftest.c", "-lpcap", "-lm", "-lnsl"], [/* 36 vars */]) = 0 [pid 5404] write(1, "LIBS=\'-lpcap -lm -lnsl \'\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5408] write(1, "LIBS=\'-lpcap -lm -lnsl \'\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5408] write(1, "ac_cv_lib_pcap_pcap_datalink=yes"..., 33) = 33 [pid 5408] write(1, "extra_incl=-I/usr/include/pcap\n", 31) = 31 [pid 5408] write(1, "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5408] write(1, "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 26) = 26 [pid 5404] write(1, "ac_cv_lib_pcap_pcap_datalink=yes"..., 33 <unfinished ...> [pid 5410] <... read resumed> "ac_cv_lib_pcap_pcap_datalink=yes"..., 4096) = 33 [pid 5404] write(1, "extra_incl=-I/usr/include/pcap\n", 31 <unfinished ...> [pid 5410] <... read resumed> "extra_incl=-I/usr/include/pcap\n", 4096) = 31 [pid 5404] write(1, "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 25 <unfinished ...> [pid 5410] <... read resumed> "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 4096) = 25 [pid 5404] write(1, "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 26 <unfinished ...> [pid 5410] <... read resumed> "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 4096) = 26 [pid 5912] write(1, "LIBS=\'-lpcap -lm -lnsl \'\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5916] write(1, "LIBS=\'-lpcap -lm -lnsl \'\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5916] write(1, "ac_cv_lib_pcap_pcap_datalink=yes"..., 33) = 33 [pid 5916] write(1, "extra_incl=-I/usr/include/pcap\n", 31) = 31 [pid 5916] write(1, "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 25) = 25 [pid 5916] write(1, "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 26) = 26 [pid 5912] write(1, "ac_cv_lib_pcap_pcap_datalink=yes"..., 33) = 33 [pid 5912] write(1, "extra_incl=-I/usr/include/pcap\n", 31) = 31 [pid 5912] write(1, "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 25 <unfinished ...> [pid 5918] <... read resumed> "with_libpcap_includes=no\n", 4096) = 25 [pid 5912] write(1, "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 26 <unfinished ...> [pid 5918] <... read resumed> "with_libpcap_libraries=no\n", 4096) = 26 Regards, Edin
