libz is not part of libpcap or mysql (at least not in linux). I think it is a compression library. Try to find it on your system, or check www.sunfreeware.com for it.
I'm trying to compile snort-1.8.1-beta6 or beta7 on a Solaris 2.7 sparc. The result is a binary that can't find libz.so.1 on it's own when I ask it to run. I configured with: ./configure --with-libpcap-includes=../libpcap-0.4 \ --with-libpcap-libraries=../libpcap-0.4 \ --with-mysql=../mysql-3.23.40-sun-solaris2.7-sparc Configuration and make went fine, no errors. When I try to run the resulting snort binary, though: [mdiehn@wombat snort-1.8.1-beta7]3 ./snort -h ld.so.1: ./snort: fatal: libz.so: open failed: No such file or directory Killed [mdiehn@wombat snort-1.8.1-beta7]4 If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib, it works. However, when I copy the binary to another system, ostensibly identical, that trick *doesn't* work. I verified this other system has libz installed in the same place, too. I can't be compiling directly on each system I'm going to install on, so this is a show stopper for me. I see in the comments in configure.in # Look for libz. This is needed for OpenBSD. Continue trucking # if we can't find it anyway Seems to imply that we don't need it on Solaris. That fits with my experience compiling snort-1.7 as snort-1.7 is running fine on another Solaris 2.7 that really doesn't have libz installed. I did check config.status, the Makefiles and the output from configure. They all indicate that libz was found during the configure process. Why wouldn't it be found during the run? Any ideas?>
