Hi Scott, atkins, and rmkml
here is what i did after downloading the required packages to /local/usr/src
43 cd /usr/local
44 tar zxvf src/pcre-7.1.tar.gz
45 cd pcre-7.1
46 ./configure
47 make
48 make install
49 cd ..
50 tar zxvf src/libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz
51 cd Libnet-1.0.2a/
52 ./configure
53 make
54 make install
55 cd ..
56 tar zxvf src/libpcap-0.9.4.tar.gz
57 cd libpcap-0.9.4/
58 ./configure
59 make
60 make install
61 cd ..
62 tar zxvf src/snort-2.6.1.5.tar.gz
63 cd snort-2.6.1.5/
In between here i installed mysql through rpm (devel and admin)
78 ./configure --enable-flexresp --with-mysql --enable-dynamicplugin
79 mkdir /etc/snort
80 mkdir /var/log/snort
81 tar zxvf /usr/local/src/snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz -C /etc/snort
82 cp etc/*.conf* /etc/snort
83 cp etc/*.map /etc/snort
84 ln -s /usr/local/bin/snort /usr/sbin/snort
85 groupadd snort
86 useradd -g snort snort
87 chown snort:snort /var/log/snort
88 vi /etc/snort/snort.conf
89 vi /etc/snort/snort.conf
here i have chaged the RULE_PATH in the snort.conf file
112 service mysqld status
113 service mysqld start
here i had some problems related to mysql , sorted those out and continued
setting mysql
it took the schema and no problems creating database here
164 /usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
at this stage i get the message
bash: /usr/local/bin/snort: No such file or directory
whereis snort
or
whereis snort.conf
gives me
snort: /usr/sbin/snort /etc/snort
and if i give
/usr/sbin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf i get the follwing
bash: /usr/local/bin/snort: No such file or directory
tail -f /var/log/messages gives me following
May 28 15:54:53 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 15:55:55 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 15:56:57 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 15:57:59 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 15:59:01 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 16:00:03 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 16:01:05 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 16:02:07 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 16:03:09 localhost last message repeated 50 times
May 28 16:04:11 localhost last message repeated 50 times
Is it that i need to uninstall the packages and relaod the rpm based version..
can somebody give me clue to progress further and give me some idea what is
going on and where could be the mistake...
appreciating for your time ..

If you do a tail -f /var/log/messages, do you see any errors? Did you try and
reconfigure it with the --with-mysql?

What version are you trying to install? I can only guess since I am
rather new, but you may want to attempt to ./configure --with-mysql

hi all
i have installed all the required packages and has set up the database
also successfully in mysql but now after doing all the hardwork when i
am trying to start the snort by writing the following
/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
i get the following message ..i am unable to understand what i am
missing
bash: /usr/local/bin/snort: No such file or directory
and when i cd to directory structure ....it really do not exist...i hope
that is suppose to be created by snort during installation..
kindly help..i have wasted quite a time on that
