Yea this is very confusing.  This is a brand new installation of RHEL5
with the latest updates from RHN via yum.

I have the same setup in my lab and it worked for me.  I have not gotten
a copy of the real RHEL 5 yet though, I am running on CentOS 5.  That
should not make a difference though

Subject: [Snort-users] Unable to install Snort 2.6.1.4 on RHEL5

Hello,
I'm trying to install Snort 2.6.1.4 from source on a RHEL5 server.  I 
get the following error:

ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found

I currently have libpcap installed by RPM:
rpm -qa |grep libpcap
libpcap-0.9.4-8.1
libpcap-devel-0.9.4-8.1

Here's a list of the libpcap files:
/usr/include/pcap-bpf.h
/usr/include/pcap-namedb.h
/usr/include/pcap.h
/usr/lib/libpcap.a
/usr/lib/libpcap.so
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.4

I've tried running ./configure with '--with-libpcap- 
includes=/usr/include --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/lib' and still 
expierence the error.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
