Folks,
I'm trying to install Snort. So, the first step is update libpcap. Look
what I have done.
1)
yum erase libpcap (to unistall old libpcap)
tar -zxfv libpcap
cd libpcap
./configure --libdir=/lib/ --bindir=/bin/
make
make install
2)
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.
Yeah, I know. "NOW you tell me!" :-)
