"invalid lvalue in increment" error when compiling Snort 2.4.3
Posted by Nightlynx on October 21, 2005 08:13:46
Hello!
I was trying to take a look at Snort 2.4.3 and was unable to compile it. The installation system is a Debian Sarge with security fixes. Configure options were "--with-postgresql --with-mysql --enable-perfmonitor --enable-inline --enable-timestats --enable-flexresp". The configure script produced no errors, all necessary libraries and headers are present. The make process runs until it hits the macro IXDR_GET_LONG in sp_rpc_check.c. The compiler exits with:
sp_rpc_check.c: In function 'CheckRpc':
sp_rpc_check.c:246: error: invalid lvalue in increment
sp_rpc_check.c:249: error: invalid lvalue in increment
sp_rpc_check.c:259: error: invalid lvalue in increment
sp_rpc_check.c:269: error: invalid lvalue in increment
sp_rpc_check.c:270: error: invalid lvalue in increment
sp_rpc_check.c:271: error: invalid lvalue in increment
make[3]: *** [sp_rpc_check.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/build/snort-2.4.3/src/detection-plugins'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/build/snort-2.4.3/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/build/snort-2.4.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I tried using GCC 3.3 and 3.4, both produced the same results. I did not find any hint in the mailings lists or in this forum. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Best,
René. |

Try removing the --enable-perfstats and --enable-timestats in your configure line. They are on by
default.

It doesn't make any difference. I dropped the --enable-timestats and the --enable-perfmonitor option. I also used --disable-perfstats and --disable-timestats. The build process always keeps hitting the same error message.
Best,
René. |

Something isn't right in your OS. I just tested it, and it works for me.
