Re: [Snort-users] (no subject)

Loading pcre 7 was no help.  Then discovered it was an ldconfig problem.

RedHat EL 3 has pcre 3.9 in /lib, and even though I built Snort against a newer 
version of pcre in /usr/local/lib, like this...

./configure --with-libpcap-includes=/usr/local/include 
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib 
--with-libpcre-includes=/usr/local/include 
--with-libpcre-libraries=/usr/local/lib

It was apparently still loading libpcre from /lib, not /usr/local/lib.

Before...

ldd /usr/local/bin/snort
         libpcre.so.0 => /lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x004f6000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00e6a000)
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x007d9000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00111000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x006c1000)

After putting /usr/local/bin on the first line in /etc/ld.so.conf and running 
ldconfig.  Snort looks in /usr/local/lib.

ldd /usr/local/bin/snort
         libpcre.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x00549000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00c7e000)
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00b35000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00df2000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x009c2000)

Now Snort loads the new VRT rules.

But I wonder what I've broken in the meantime by having /usr/local/lib listed 
first in ld.so.conf?

Is there a unique LIBRARY_PATH variable for Snort, for him to use 
/usr/local/lib?
