installation error on solaris 9
Posted by melanie_pfefer on August 23, 2006 02:26:32
hi,
on Sun solaris 9 platform, I am installing snort v 2.6.0 starting with
./configure --enable-inline --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local
this ends with this error:
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... no
ERROR! Libpcap library/headers not found, go get it from
http://www.tcpdump.org
or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed
in unusual place
could you please advise whether you faced this error and how you solved it?
thanks,
Mel. |

please also note that I checked config.log file. It ends like this:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;
configure: exit 1
thanks again and appreciate your help. |
