I like the rpm and noticed that the tar file for snort has the same instructions in it "make sure you have --libpcap.so.0.6.2-- running"This is an rpm dependency problem, rpm doesn't know you have libpcap on your system because you compiled it yourself. Either install the snort rpm without dependency checking (inadvisable), or installing a libpcap rpm (better), or build snort from source. That last one might be the better idea if your not going to be installing other rpms that depend on snort. It's generally a bad idea to build libraries yourself on a system that does dependency checking, since your usually installing a library to satisfy a requirement of another app, and a built library makes no entry in the rpm database so rpm has no clue it exists. -Sean Brown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
