Re: Snort++ installation error

Hello,

Did you set you path to lua? See the “doc/start.txt” file.


=== Run

First set up the environment:

    export LUA_PATH=$my_path/include/snort/lua/\?.lua\;\;
    export SNORT_LUA_PATH=$my_path/etc/snort/

Subject: [Snort-users] Snort++ installation error

Hello

I have snort 2.9.8.2 currently installed on my system. I tried to install snort++ by downloading and running the 
following commands successfully as mentioned on the github page.

./configure_cmake.sh --prefix=$my_path
cd build
make --j 8 install

However, when i try to do snort -V, it shows the version of snort as 2.9.8.2. Also, when i try to do
$my_path/bin/snort -c $my_path/etc/snort/snort.lua
I get the following error:

FATAL: can't init /home/akhil/snort_src/snort3/etc/snort/snort.lua:

Thanks
