RE: Installing Snort on a Red Hat 8 or 9

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

I think you are reading too quickly, you evidently did not read the message closely.  You are grepping for libcap, and 
snort is complaining that it needs libPcap (You are missing the P in between lib and cap).

Maybe u don't read the entire message, check it out again and u'll see that I make this step already and the ver 
differs. indeed the ver thats snort requieres is lower than I have installed(by defaut) in my system

        You are grepping for libcap, what you need is libpcap.  rpm -qa | grep libpcap, see if that is installed.

        Check This
         
        checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... no
         
           ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
           http://www.tcpdump.org
           or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
           in unusual place
        this happen when I make a configure of snort
         
        and now check this
         
        # rpm -qa | grep libcap
        libcap-1.10-12
         
        I have installed(By system default) this ver of libcap, but snort is asking me by a lower ver of it, and my 
question is How I can use my installed version instead the lower that snort need?
         
        Even when I use the param --with-libpcap-includes or --with-libpcap-libraries and I give it the path of the 
libraries the error persist

                If you would like a good, basic document from which to install Snort
                on a RH9 or Fedora Core 1 box, go to www.ntsug.com and download
                Patrick Harper's paper.  There are several versions there, one should
                fit your needs.  It is a paper that will require you to reload your
                machine, but will provide the correct information necessary to
                successfully install both RH9 and Snort.

                I'm trying to install the lastest version of snort on a red hat 8 and
                a red hat 9, and it's asking by libcap 0.6 but red hat 8 and 9
                install 1.0 by default, what I can do??
