Addetiloye, If I understand your question correctly, you are having a compile error in the ./configure process. In most of the similar cases I've seen with this, it can often be a result of the file in question not being in your path or not where the snort configure process expected to find it. First, if you haven't already done so, make sure you've installed daq. If you do a "find / -name daq* and get lots of results in /usr/local/, chances are you've installed it. Some others on the Snort Users list may have a more elegant way of checking for proper daq installation - I'd welcome any comments. For some more reading on daq, I'd recommend http://vrt-blog.snort.org/2010/08/snort-29-essentials-daq.html. If you think daq is correctly installed, you can troubleshoot further by looking on your system to see if the file is there. Here's my results: [root@Snortbox ~]# find / -name libsfbpf.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libsfbpf.so.0 /usr/local/daq-0.5/sfbpf/.libs/libsfbpf.so.0 find: `/home/nmoore/.gvfs': Permission denied [root@Snortbox ~]# If the file is found, note the location. If it's not in /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/daq-0.5/sfbpf/.libs, then the snort compile process isn't going to find it. Go back to the VRT page listed above for instructions on telling Snort how to find your daq installation. Last, I'd recommend http://www.snort.org/assets/159/Snort_2.9.05_FC14.pdf(shameless plug) and make sure you've loaded all the libraries in the steps before compiling snort. Happy Snorting!
