RE: Compile under Linux kernel 2.4.3

["Eric Van den Bossche" <evdbossche () epo org>]

Thanks a lot. It did help.

In fact I reinstalled flex 2.5.4 and bison 1.28, then
again libpcap 0.4. After this, the installation of snort went fine.

Effectivelly, the former flex and bison installation took place after
libpcap was installed.

You didn't seem to have lex/flex installed at the time when libpcap
library was built. Very likely you will have to do so and then rebuild
libpcap again.
