Hi All, I know this is a real newbie question, but Im sorry I'v been stuck for a day and a half and really need some help. When installing "snort-1.8.1-1mdk.i586.rpm" i get the following error : error: failed dependencies: libpcap >= 0.4 is needed by snort-1.8.1-1mdk libpcap.so.0 is needed by snort-1.8.1-1mdk Yes this seems simple and I know Im going to feel stupid when I hear the answer but here is what I have done to fix the problem. A. Tried to install libpcap, but am not 100% sure how to tell if it is installed correctly. However rpm -q reveals that it is not [root@WarrickLinux root]# rpm -qa | grep libp libpng2-1.0.12-2mdk libpilot-link4-0.9.5-3mdk the confusing thing though is that tcpdump works ???? HOW ???? B. My Path looks something like this : [root@WarrickLinux root]# echo $PATH /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib: If anyone can tell me what Im doing wrong, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Warrick Thanks Warrick FitzGerald Senior Systems Engineer LiveTechnology Inc.
