Re: snort-1.8.x, libz, solaris and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Mike Diehn <mdiehn () vicinity com>]

I received a number of suggestions, all of which got my thinking
about work-arounds.  My solution for now is:

  1. config and make snort on my build system
  
  2. copy snort executable to the destination system
  
  3. on the destination system, use ldd on the snort exectuable to
     identify the libraries it can't find.

  4. create a lib directory in my snort dir and copy into it the
     "hard to find" libraries from the build system

  5. set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $SNORTBASE/lib on the snort command
     line in my startup scripts.

Ugh.

For reference, $SNORTBASE is /usr/local/snort and looks like:

  /usr/local/snort
        etc/            # startup scripts
        bin/            # various versions of snort binaries
        lib/            # those hard to find libraries
        man/            # the man pages for snort and related libraries
        conf/           # rules files and config file

Logs go into /var/log/snort.
