You may have installed it from a binary package or built it from a source package but it is not part of the Snort source tree.
as written above, there is no libnet in use at all in the product i'm working with... there's no libdnet, either... we've simply never had a need for either...

This is new for > 2.9.0. ugh! when does the madness end? :lol: i'll have to see if i can hunt up the archive for that... hopefully it is available at www.snort.org/ports/snort-current/ <http://www.snort.org/ports/snort-current/> You can find it here, along with Snort: http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads.
i'd rather find it in a place that is automation and script friendly... that web page link is not :?
> Also, the NFQ and IPQ DAQs require libdnet, but so does Snort 2.9.0. this begs the question of why DAQ wasn't included in the 2.9.0 archive so that one only need grab that one archive, untar it and DAQ be available in the 2.9.0 source tree... it sure would make things a *lot* easier :? It would make things a tad easier for Snort installs but the DAQ is a generic solution to packet acquisition problems and is packaged separately so that it may find a life of its own.
that's understandable... to a point... i can't count the numbers of times that i've included other packages in my releases that are standalone that my release required for operation... it just made sense to "make it as easy as possible"... it certainly didn't take away from the separation of the packages or their individuality ;)
this release really should be 3.something instead of 2.9 with changes like these... but all we can do it either keep trying to move forward or dump snort in the bitbucket and find something else :? that's not my call so all i can do is try to keep beating snort into submission in my environment... it may very well turn out that it gets dumped if we can't get 2.9.0 working and especially if the rules updates get EOLed and leave our users with no rules to use... If you want to roll your own, I recommend you start with the DAQ ... :)
