Maybe you can use alien to make a tar.gz package, uncompress it in
a directory and see if you can execute the snort executable with
your glibc. If you can then you can use --nodeps with rpm to install
the package. Or you can simply use the --nodeps and see if it works,
if it doesn't you can uninstall it.

The solution if the binary doesn't work could be to download the
source code and compile it. It's not difficult to do it and then
it would work with your glibc.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
