Re: Snort error

[Nick Moore <nmoore () sourcefire com>]

Christian,

I didn't run into that error, but as a guess I'd recommend checking to see
that your libxml2-dev library installed correctly. Try re-installing it from
yum: "yum install libxml2-dev". If it says already installed, go through the
list of other supporting packages and make sure they are installed. Last,
run an update and boot your system afterwards. Then try the ./configure step
again.

Hope this helps. If it doesn't please reply to the snort users list. If
you're not already on the Snort Users Mailing list, please consider joining.
Lots of people WAY smarter than me out there.

Thanks and happy snorting!

Nick
