RE: How to upgrade from Snort 1.9.1 to 2.0.1 Please ....

["Grejda, Eric" <EGrejda () county allegheny pa us>]

Your problem's right here:

#make
error reported:
r cru libspo.a spo_alert_fast.o spo_alert_full.o spo_alert_smb.o
spo_alert_syslog.o spo_alert_unixsock.o spo_csv.o spo_database.o
spo_log_null.o spo_log_tcpdump.o spo_unified.o spo_log_ascii.o
spo_alert_sf_socket.o 
make[3]: ar: Command not found
           ^^

Either you don't have the ar command installed (unlikely seeing as how you
mentioned compiling an earlier version of Snort) or it's not in the path of
the shell you're building Snort from (more likely).  Do a `which ar` to see
if you've got it available.  If not, figure out where it is and put that
directory into $PATH.

Looking a bit more closely at your message, the command `r` is being used
when it should be `ar`.  Was that an error in cutting-and-pasting of your
terminal or is that an actual glitch in the Makefile?

Erek, 

Thanks for the prompt reply. 
Still, not so sure yet about the upgrading steps.

I tried (without touching existing working snort
1.9.0)

# gzip -d -c snort-2.0.1.tar.gz |tar xvf -
# cd snort-2.0.1
#./configure
#make
error reported:
r cru libspo.a spo_alert_fast.o spo_alert_full.o spo_alert_smb.o
spo_alert_syslog.o spo_alert_unixsock.o spo_csv.o spo_database.o
spo_log_null.o spo_log_tcpdump.o spo_unified.o spo_log_ascii.o
spo_alert_sf_socket.o 
make[3]: ar: Command not found
make[3]: *** [libspo.a] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1/src/output-plugins'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/snortfile/snort-2.0.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

then.
#make install

Then, 
#snort -V 
still shows Snort Version 1.9.0 is running...

Do I need to remove/uninstall the existing 1.9.0
before install
2.0.1? and HOW to uninstall snort if needed in the
right way?

Thanks a lot in advance. 
Snotty W.
