RE: SNMP Support in FreeBSD

["Keith Long" <keith.long () air2web com>]

I didn't type those commands, they were the output from make.  I can
install the port successfully but without snmp support.  It did not
automagically detect net-snmp and install the snmp plugin, just as it
did not automagically include mysql support unless I specifically used
-DWITH_MYSQL.  I have tried installing the port with -DWITH_SNMP but
that didn't work.  When I look at plugbase.c from the port I do not see
the snmp plugin.  If I apply the snmp patch for snort 2.0.1 in
/usr/ports/security/snort/work/snort-2.0.1 I get the aclocal errors.

I have automake 1.5 and 1.7 and autoconf 2.57.

At this point I have given up on the port in favor of compiling from
source.  And of course when I compile from source I get the aclocal
errors.  

My ports are fairly new.  If I grabbed the latest ports I would be
installing snort 2.0.2, which there doesn't seem to be an snmp patch
for.

Keith
