Stuart,

I would say that the odds are very high that the flex and bison binaries 
you compiled with the Dec compiler will work just fine.  I gather from your 
previous email that you already know Snort doesn't actually require flex, 
bison and m4 itself.  Flex and bison are required by libpcap and m4 is 
required by autoconf.

Yes, we are using the DEC compiler as we need it for a lot of ex DEC
stuff.  I note what you say about GCC being the 'compiler of preference'
for Snort and maybe we have to go that way.  The Dec compiler is bundled
in to the UNIX alphas so there is no added cost.  I managed to get flex
and bison etc compiled using that and assume that if they compiled then
the executable should be fine whichever compiler you use??

stuart

It appears as though you're using Digital's compiler.  Snort is primarly
written (at least at the moment) to be compiled using GCC and Microsoft
VisualC++.  I believe we've got an alpha somewhere but I don't know if
tru64 bundles the compiler for free or it's an add-on that must be
purchased (ala Sun).

If tru64 doesn't come with a compatible lexx/yacc/m4 etc, you might have
some success looking for precompiled packages.  I'd be very suprised if
Compaq didn't already provide such packages themselves or at least
information on where to obtain them (IBM, HP and Sun all provide
packages  and/or links to places that provide them).  In your case,
flex, bison, and  all other associated components might be a lot
friendlier if you compile  them using GCC.

After struggling for a day to get all the components, libpcap etc and
sub-components, bison, flex and sub-sub components GNUM4 and so on,
compiled on our Alpha, snort itself fails catastrophically.  Configure
did not show any errors and I can mail the configs if required.
The first problem was that tru-unix does not allow defines where the #
is in any other position than column 1.  I fixed that by running
through the src with a sed.  However, sample output below suggests
that tru-unix may not be supported fully.  Can you possibly advise
please as we would VERY much like to try out snort on our network.
TIA
