Snorters,
I have been running snort 1.9.0 fine.  I tried to upgrade a redhat 8.0
system to snort 1.9.1 and I get the error:

configure: warning: libnet-config --cflags is broken on your system.  If
you
configure: warning: are using a *BSD port please notify the port
maintainer.
configure: warning: libnet-config --libs is broken on your system.  If
you
configure: warning: are using a *BSD port please notify the port
maintainer.
checking for libnet.h... no

   ERROR!  Libnet header not found, go get it from
   http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/
   or use the --with-libnet-* options, if you have it installed
   in unusual place

Here are the options I am using to compile:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-openssl=/usr --enable-flexresp
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr --with-libpcap-includes=/usr

I have reloaded the libnet 1.0.2a in an attempt to ensure the libnet
1.0.2a is working.  I have tried to add the --with-libnet-* options.  I
have tested libnet and it works fine with other tools.  Is this a redhat
issue? 

Anyone else try snort 1.9.1 on redhat 8.0 with libnet 1.0.2a and
flexresp option on?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
