Followup: 1.8.7 on Solaris 8

[Erek Adams <erek () theadamsfamily net>]

Works like a champ for me, except for a tweak need for ./configure--see note
below.

Ok,  here's what I did.

        *  built and installed bison and flex
        *  built and installed libpcap 0.7.1 from tcpdump.org
        *  gunziped and untar'ed the 1.8.7 tarball.

Then from inside the snort build dir:

        * ./configure
        * make
        * make install

And the output from the last of the make:

[...snip...]

Make sure you've got your patches uptodate.  There was a M4 patch in the last
set, IIRC.

Hope this helps!
