Am I reading this correctly that you have a space in your path where Snort is? I'm not saying that makes a difference, but I try to eliminate the simplest things first. -- Joel Esler Senior Research Engineer, VRT OpenSource Community Manager Sourcefire On Apr 1, 2013, at 9:56 AM, Kurt Jensen CISSP <kjensencissp () gmail com> wrote:
Hi, I hope everyone had a great weekend and holiday! Any thoughts or ideas on the Snort install and setup (make) related errors I ran into yet I posted back on March 22nd? It has been a long time since I ever installed and ran Snort it seemed like it should have worked out using the documentation and tips you offer for SuSE users. Yet I am sad to say that between two different images of SuSE Linux (one is a 12.2 VM with KDE, and another 12.2 that was upgraded from 11.x as a native install) I was not able to get a successful install and initialization going yet. I would like to get it running and learn from the experience too. Might the error information below lead to answers? Thoughts? I am new to this online community so my apologies if somehow I missed a reply.

Here is what is happening that I could definitely use help with: While in the case of the .tar.gz version the “configure phase” worked fine once I had all the pre-install required dependency connected libraries and packages, and finished as far as I can tell w/o errors. Yet when I try to run make it refers to a number of directories it enters and exits with an error saying for example “there is nothing to do for all” and then “make[5] there is no rule to build” etc. I have been researching this a lot and come up with no direct answers. My GUESS is it is looking for a rule package but I have not been able to find a free one yet to download if that is the problem. I am a student on this and do not wish to buy any rules, I can just use the most basic ones out there as I get started and was surprised to find it seems none are included to start out with and finish an install? “rpm” method: When I downloaded and tried installing the rpm version instead using SuSE YaST software manager/install tool (GUI) the process begins but always errors out saying it failed/cannot complete with the error “nothing provides libcrypto.so.10” but my SUSE install has SSH and several GNU and/or other crypto libraries I just added (with source/development libraries) yet none of these work? Any assistance is greatly appreciated and what am I missing? Lars Jensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
