RE: Installing Snort on a Red Hat 8 or 9

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

You are grepping for libcap, what you need is libpcap.  rpm -qa | grep libpcap, see if that is installed.

Check This
 
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... no
 
   ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
   http://www.tcpdump.org
   or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
   in unusual place
this happen when I make a configure of snort
 
and now check this
 
# rpm -qa | grep libcap
libcap-1.10-12
 
I have installed(By system default) this ver of libcap, but snort is asking me by a lower ver of it, and my question is 
How I can use my installed version instead the lower that snort need?
 
Even when I use the param --with-libpcap-includes or --with-libpcap-libraries and I give it the path of the libraries 
the error persist

        If you would like a good, basic document from which to install Snort
        on a RH9 or Fedora Core 1 box, go to www.ntsug.com and download
        Patrick Harper's paper.  There are several versions there, one should
        fit your needs.  It is a paper that will require you to reload your
        machine, but will provide the correct information necessary to
        successfully install both RH9 and Snort.

        I'm trying to install the lastest version of snort on a red hat 8 and
        a red hat 9, and it's asking by libcap 0.6 but red hat 8 and 9
        install 1.0 by default, what I can do??
