Problems with Snort on SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernel 2.6)

["Eric Hines" <eric.hines () appliedwatch com>]

All,

We are having customers reporting Snort 2.1.1 not working on SuSE Linux 9.1. When trying to start Snort, they report a 
Fatal Error message from pcap.

Is anyone aware of a bugfix that may have been made in 2.1.1 -> 2.1.3? Or has anyone on this list seen the same 
problems when using SuSE 9.1, kernel 2.6 and Snort?

Is it a problem introduced with the 2.6 kernel in Snort or is it pcap?

Thanks,
