Trouble compiling Snort-2.1.0: snprintf.c (fwd)

[Tomasz Piotr Palarz <tpalar1 () uic edu>]

Hi

I'm sending this again because I'm not sure if it went through the first
time. I got an email from some company about my mail not being sent. I'm
still having trouble compiling snort-2.1.0 with inline for Linux.

Subject: [Snort-users] Trouble compiling Snort-2.1.0: snprintf.c

Hello all,

I'm having some trouble compiling snort 2.1.0 . I'm trying to set up a
Honeynet. My honeywall is running Red Hat 7.3. I've updated iptables to
1.2.9, patched the kernel and recompiled. I patched Snort 2.1.0 with the
snort_inline-2.1.0a patch. I'm trying to get this to work with mysql and
ACID.

I run ./configure --enable-inline=yes --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-libnet-includes=/usr/include
--with-libnet-libraries=/usr/lib --with-lipipq-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-libipq-libraries=/usr/local/lib

I have Libnet 1.0.2a and whatever version of libipq came with iptables
1.2.9.

When I run make, it compiles a good deal of the way, but then I get an
error about snprintf. It looks like this:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/snort-2.1.0'
Making all in src

[root@honeywall snort-2.1.0]#

I saw in the archives about a month ago someone was having the same issue
with snort-1.9.0 on FreeBSD, but I didn't see a solution. Any help with
this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
