RE: [Snort-users] snort postgresql rpm problem

All,
I'm having a problem with installing the
snort-postgresql-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm
on my Fedora box. The rpm errors I'm getting are about failed dependencies.

These files are libcom_err.so.3, libcrypto.so.2, libpq.so.2, libssl.so.2.

My question is what rpms contain these files or is there away to get rpm to
grab the dependencies like apt get will on Debian. Thanks in advance.

Phillip,

I'd suggest that you hit RPMfind and see which packages will supply the
items you are missing. The libssl package would seem to indicate that you
either don't have SSL installed at all or don't have the right version.
You're going to have to obtain and install the missing packages.

That said, I have often found Posgresql to be difficult to install and get
working PROPERLY via RPM on RedHat under the best of circumstances. WITHOUT
STARTING A FLAME WAR, I've not had very good experience with Fedora period.
My personal feeling is that the snort package you're trying to install
should have seen and at least alerted you to the missing dependencies.
I've had much better luck with FreeBSD (which also has better on line
documentation) and the "Ports" collection, especially with SNORT, ACID, and
databases in general.

2 cents,

Jimi
