Install script does not create /usr/local/etc
Posted by gbobeck on September 28, 2005 12:26:02
I noticed during my install of Snort 2.4.1 that the install script does not create /usr/local/etc if it doesn't exist. As a result, the contents of /etc aren't copied from the install directory to the final destination.
My machine is Gentoo Linux 2005.1. I also observed this during 2 installs on Knoppix 3.9. |

What install script are you talking about?

Ok, here is where my lack of good programming skills is going to show. I think it would be a safe assumption on my part to say it is the main makefile.
I'm basing this off of reading the INSTALL readme file in DOCS. It states "By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc." Of course, I've noticed that it copies everything except the contents 'etc' folder (from the snort install directory) to /usr/local/etc (where it should reside, by default). |

That's left up to the user to decide where he wants his conf files.

Ok. I do think that should be mentioned in the 'install' document in /doc . |

Thanks for the information. We'll take a look at it.
