Hi,

I am installing Snort 2.20 using the MMaped libpcap from Phil Woods web-site: http://public.lanl.gov/cpw/.
The latest version of the MMAPed libpcap is: libpcap-1.0.20041001

The Snort installation went well without any problem under Fedora Core 1.

However, the same installation under Fedora core 2, I got the following error messages:

 /usr/local/lib/libpcap.a(pcap-ring.o)(.text+0x4d4): In function `pcap_ring_recv':
/usr/local/src/libpcap/pcap-ring.c:392: undefined reference to `mb'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The Fedora core 2 kernel version is: Linux 2.6.9-1.6

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.

SS
