Selinux can break a lot of things if not set properly, it takes a good bit
of tweaking

I actually just had the same issue yesterday with CentOS5. I was using
Patrick's directions and had to do a couple of things a little
different like SELinux comes after the reboot. I have tried everything
that I could think of and still get the same error that Dan is getting.
I took the box back to 4.4 and no issues ... except fort importing the
GPG key for NTOP but that is unrelated.

Yea this is very confusing.  This is a brand new installation of RHEL5
with the latest updates from RHN via yum.

I have the same setup in my lab and it worked for me.  I have not
gotten
a copy of the real RHEL 5 yet though, I am running on CentOS 5.  That
should not make a difference though

Subject: [Snort-users] Unable to install Snort 2.6.1.4 on RHEL5

Hello,
I'm trying to install Snort 2.6.1.4 from source on a RHEL5 server.  I
get the following error:

ERROR!  Libpcap library/headers not found

I currently have libpcap installed by RPM:
rpm -qa |grep libpcap
libpcap-0.9.4-8.1
libpcap-devel-0.9.4-8.1

Here's a list of the libpcap files:
/usr/include/pcap-bpf.h
/usr/include/pcap-namedb.h
/usr/include/pcap.h
/usr/lib/libpcap.a
/usr/lib/libpcap.so
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.4

I've tried running ./configure with '--with-libpcap-
includes=/usr/include --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/lib' and still
expierence the error.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
