Well,

I managed to tackle that problem by adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now when I
try to start snort - I get the error:

database: configured to use mysql
database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort

But I did the ./configure script using the '--with-mysql' switch command. I
did this is myself instead of root. But when I try to start snort as myself
I get this error:

Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort

Initializing Network Interface ge0
ERROR: You don't have permission to sniff.
Try doing this as root.
Fatal Error, Quitting..

Also - if I try and reconfigure as root - then I can't get it to recognize
where gcc is - even if I add it to the path - but it will as myself. Isn't
that crazy?

Any help would be appreciated.

Krisa

That's strange Krisa.. What kind of OS are you running? What loader are you
using?

It's possible you're using some kind of archaic version of *NIX that's got
a hard-coded loader path and the loader cannot be configured.

It's also possible that you're using some other loader other than GNU ld,
in which case the name of the config file for it may be different.

This is all stuff that's specific to the OS you run.

However, if your PCRE winds up in a path your loader already knows to use,
you don't need to change anything. Most of the time the failure to load a
library results from someone installing a library in /usr/local/lib on a
machine that's configured to only look in /lib and /usr/lib for libraries.
