Re: DAQ and libpcap 1.1.1 vs 1.0.0

[vincent () cojot name]

Hi Mike,

I've found that daq-0.2 or daq-0.3 compile fine with libpcap-1.1.1 on 
RHEL5.5. However, we are currently several users who have technical issues 
(segfaults) with snort 2.9.0x if you use libpcap-1.1.1. For that reason, I 
have decided to revert to 1.0.0 for my rpms. All of my rpms, including the 
source rpms are located at ttp://vscojot.free.fr/dist/snort/RHEL5.
Perhaps looking at the spec files would help you for building 
libpcap-1.1.1 with daq-0.3.

Regards,

Vincent
