Re: [Snort-users] Snort failed to install using Phil Woods' shared memory ring buffer libpcapThanks.

Please note I do not have problem installing Snort under FC2 using the regular libpcap library.
The problem is when I try to install Snort with the MMAPED libpcap from Phil Woods' website under FC2.
The installation of Snort with the MMAPED libpcap does work under FC1.

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

  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.
