Check out Patrick Harpors installation instructions and use his URLs to get the needed libpcap and you should be OK.

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort failed to install using Phil Woods' shared memory ring buffer libpcap

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 
<http://public.lanl.gov/cpw/libpcap-1.0.20041001.tar.gz> 
 
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.
