Folks,
I'm trying to install Snort. So, the first step is update libpcap. Look what I have done.
yum erase libpcap (to unistall old libpcap) tar -zxfv libpcap cd libpcap ./configure --libdir=/lib/ --bindir=/bin/ make make install
yum install ./daq.rpm
At this point I got a messagen telling that libpcap is not installed!!!
What is happening ? Did I made a mistake? Better: Why yum cant realize that lipcap is already installed ?
We need to know what you're trying to install this on (F14, F15, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.). Snort wants libpcap in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64, not /lib.
You should have just done a "yum install libpcap-devel" to get libpcap. There's no need to install from a tarball--libpcap has been in Fedora's repos for a LONG time.
