Snort: Re: Snort 2.8->2.9 upgrade, DAQ and libpcap

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

As noted in the blog post you reference below:

PCAP ≥ 1.0.0. PCAP 1.1.1 is available at the time of this writing and is recommended.

So..  Yes.  You'll need to download, compile, and install libpcap 1.0.0 or higher.
