If you want to use RPMs, use RPMs, not tarballs.

the RPM package manager will not be aware of your libpcap install via tarball.

So you have two options:
        1) install snort via source tarball, which will search out and 
find your libpcap.
        2) install libpcap via RPM instead of tarball, which will let you 
install snort in RPM format.

And a third less desirable:
        3) install the snort rpm with the --nodeps flag so RPM will ignore 
the libpcap dependency.
