Re: problems with barnyard2 and rpm

[MLP SCADA <MLPSCADA () ci anchorage ak us>]

That's a really good question.  Generally I use the configure/make/etc process, but on my EL6 machines I try to use rpm 
for a couple of reasons:


 1.  it's what the redhat 'system' is.
 2.  I've run into (sometimes really strange) dependency problems when I don't use the yum/rpm for some package, but 
later on use rpm some other package.
 3.  rpm's do tend to uninstall more cleanly.

Of course, all that being said, sometimes (more often than not) I just get disgusted trying to do the rpm thing and end 
up compiling and installing the usual way.

I have a question - why build and rpm to install?  If you are going to install from source why not get the tarball and 
just do the normal configure, make and make install?  Would you get more control our of it?

I run CentOS 6 64 bit and that process works fine.

I'm not sure whether this is a snort question, a barnyard2 question, an rpm question, or all of the above, so apologies 
in advance if necessary.

I'm not that familiar or comfortable with redhat or rpms, but that's what we have, so that's what I'll use.

I can't seem to get the barnyard2 rpm to compile.
