Downgrade to RHEL4 solved my problem.  Thanks all for the help.

I know it will work on RHEL 4 but I also did an install on RHEL 5
yesterday per my doc and it worked the same.  I also know it works the
same in CentOS
4 and 5

Remove and reinstall of libpcap and libpcap-devel did not fix :\

I'm going to downgrade to RHEL4 and see if I can get the system up.
Thanks.

yum remove libpcap*.* might help.

Same error on both my RHEL5 servers using 2.6.1.5.

I wonder if this is an issue:

rpm -qa | grep libpcap
libpcap-0.9.4-8.1
libpcap-devel-0.9.4-8.1
libpcap-0.9.4-8.1

It shows two libpcaps installed and it won't let me remove any of
them.

Just tried with snort 2.6.1.5 on RHEL 5 yum'd to date with no
RPMforge

repo's installed and it is working.  Try the new version and see if 
that helps.

I was just emailing back and forth with another person who has/had

this same problem.

Is libpcap-devel installed on your system? If it is please get a 
listing of files in the rpm db and verify the integrity of the 
package. If not intact, please remove and then re-install the -
devel

package and see if that works.


Verify Files:
rpm -V libpcap-devel

Cheers,
Harry


Any ideas on this guys?  I'm still unable to get it to work,
SELinux

disabled.  I'm thinking about downgrading to RHEL4 but I may run

into hardware issues.

If you believe it's SELINUX you can check the logs:

audit2allow -i /var/log/messages

or temporarily disable selinux
setenforce 0

HTH,

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

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.
