Re: snort_dynamicpreprocessor

Okay so weirdly enough… I just went installed on a second machine (have about 4 or so to do altogether), and I’m now 
getting the same exact error:

./configure: line 16264: daq-modules-config: command not found
checking for daq_load_modules in -ldaq_static... no

   ERROR!  daq_static library not found, go get it from
   http://www.snort.org/.

I added in the –with-daq-libraries and –with-daq-includes but it still doesn’t want to find daq. I made daq, installed 
the RPM package of snort… nothing seems to work. I see all the daq libraries in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. 
I don’t get why this wouldn’t work. Any thoughts?

  1.  For static DAQ, use ./configure --with-daq-libraries=/usr/local/lib –with-daq-includes=/usr/local/include and 
adjust those paths accordingly, then run make clean and make. ldconfig is for dynamic libraries.



  1.  List the contents of the package / rpm and ensure that the paths in snort.conf match the dynamic paths. The 
config should be rewritten automatically if it’s our package or the packager used our spec file.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I was able to manually compile snort just fine on my test system. Went to do it on prod and got the error about not 
being able to find the daq static libraries (daq was compiled and installed successfully and I added /usr/local/lib to 
ldconfig). So I decided to use the ‘yum install’ method. Which worked without any issue. When I went to test run snort 
I got the error that it was not able to find the snort_dynamicpreprocessor. Took a look and it is located at 
/usr/local/lib/ on my test machine, but I do not have it at all on my prod machine (which again was installed using yum 
install).

At first I started going through and commenting out the lines that were erroring out for the dynamicpreprocessor, but 
I’d rather just get that installed and have it if needed. Can anyone tell me how to actually get it installed? Should I 
just recompile manually? Or will that mess up the current snort install?

Thanks for your time!
