RE: Installing Snort 2.3.0

["Plantier, Spencer" <spencer.plantier () stratech com>]

What exactly is it looking for in the include and lib directories. I
have tried about everything I can think of and still cant get it to get
pass trying to find libpcap. I know libpcap works because I have
ethereal running. 


Thanks,
 
 
Spencer

hi Spencer 

looks like a solaris installation. but libpcap in
/opt/sfw/bin - definitivly not 
it's placed in the lib-directory 
i use the compiler flags, which work fine for me
export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/sfw/include
-I/opt/sfw/include'
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/opt/sfw/lib' 
export CC=gcc

using this you don't need the --with-libpcap token

best regards 
hans
