Re: Cannot install Snort with RPM file.

[Bill Bernsen <bill.bernsen () nyu edu>]

This is a frustration I've also experienced.  My understanding is that the
RPM is built against source compiled libdnet which has a different library
footprint.  Further, symlinking the files it wants to the CentOS libdnet
packages doesn't seem to work.  Is there a reason that the RPM is
distributed this way?

If you do need a package for distribution, I found that adding
libdnet-devel and zlib-devel to the BuildRequires line in the spec file and
building the package using rpmbuild + mock fixed things.
