Re:[Q] Anybody Mandrake 8.0 and snort-1.8p1-0 ?!?

[Jon <jab () md prestige net>]

Stef,

I have it running on MDK8.0.  I installed it several weeks ago, so my memory 
is fuzzy, but I think I went and got the libpq stuff again.  Then when I 
installed snort, I told it where to find the libpq stuff.  

I got the info from the INSTALL file:
------------------------------------------------------
`--with-libpcap-includes=DIR'
     If the configuration script can't find the libpcap include files on its
     own, the path can be set manually with this switch.
 
`--with-libpcap-libraries=DIR'
     If the configuration script can't find the libpcap library files on its
     own, the path can be set manually with this switch.

------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps.

Jon

Subject: [Snort-users] [Q] Anybody Mandrake 8.0 and snort-1.8p1-0 ?!?

Just tried to get Snort installed on a new Mandrake 8.0 machine, 
and the RPM package complains about a missing libpq.so.2.0, 
while I know for sure I have it in /usr/lib via postgresql installation. 
Trying to install from the tar-ball, I get complaints about the libpcap 
entries, instead, though I have those also. I know all distros have 
their ways of putting files in different places, but I don't recall having 
had problems before with Snort and other distros ?!? Anybody 
having been successful with this combo (Mandrake8.0 and Snort)?

TIA for any help,
Stef
