If it's from snort.org (which, based on the rpm > name, I'm guessing it is) there is a fairly concise howto as to how to install the latest version of snort for F14 ( > http://www.snort.org/assets/154/Snort_2.9.0.1_FC14_Base.pdf ). And, FWIW, the latest x64 version of libpcap for F14 appears to be > 1.1.1 so it appears that if you do a yum install libpcap you should have a version of libpcap that is new enough to handle the > version of snort that is in the F14 repos (and the version that is on snort.org, which, from reading the install guide, you have to > compile and install, not install from rpm). Actually: [root@prophead ~]# rpm -qa | grep libpcap | grep 86_64 libpcap-1.1.1-3.fc14.x86_64 libpcap-devel-1.1.1-3.fc14.x86_64 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
