I am trying to install snort-2.9.4.6 on Redhat 6.3 i386 but am getting the following error ERROR! Libpcap library/headers (libpcap.a (or .so)/pcap.h) not found, go get it from http://www.tcpdump.org or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed in unusual place. Also check if your libpcap depends on another shared library that may be installed in an unusual place I have uninstalled the redhat libpcap that I had installed with yum and compiled my own libpcap 1.4.0. The libpcap was the latest version from tcpdump.org, not the development version. The following files are located in /usr/local/lib -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 754998 Jun 27 08:14 libpcap.a lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 12 Jun 27 08:14 libpcap.so -> libpcap.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Jun 27 08:14 libpcap.so.1 -> libpcap.so.1.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 552966 Jun 27 08:14 libpcap.so.1.4.0 The following files are located in /usr/local/include. drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 27 08:14 pcap -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2393 Jun 27 08:14 pcap-bpf.h -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2320 Jun 27 08:14 pcap.h -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2125 Jun 27 08:14 pcap-namedb.h I tried running like this: ./configure --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/include I also tried adding to ldconfig. Yet I’m still getting the libpcap error and I don’t know why.
