System: Red Hat Enterprise 5 - x64

I am trying to install snort and have dependencies. When I try
to reconcile them, they look like they loaded fine, but when I
try to install snort, I get the same errors.

[root@sguil01.root snort]# rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-compat-6.0.11-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Ideas?

Thanks,

Hi, welcome to LQ!

And what does
tell you?


Cheers,

The response I get is:

libpcap-0.9.4-14.e15

Ray

Why don't you use the yum tool instead? It automatically takes care of dependencies. I wouldn't use rpm directly unless I was desperate.
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-2531

I don't know of a repository that has the most current version of
both snort and sguil. Do you?

Thanks,

Ray

Post #1 : MySQL-shared-compat-6.0.11-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm :
Are you sure, you will use this version ? It's not a default el5 package.
And it will of course not fit with any 'snort' compiled for
mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.3. ( Which is the current el5 version. AFAIK.)

'snort-mysql-2.8.6.1-1.RH5.i386.rpm' + 'snort-2.8.6.1-1.RH5.i386.rpm'
are the wrong architecture, i.e. not x86_64 (No x86_64 versions available).

From "snort", the snort-2.8.6.1-1.src.rpm (source code SRC rpm)
is available, and easy to rebuild to ' x86_64 ' :
1) # yum install libpcap-devel.x86_64 pcre-devel.x86_64 mysql-devel.x86_64
2) cd /usr/local/
3) # ln -s /usr/lib64/mysql/ && exit
4) cd /home/<name>/rpms/SPECS/
5) rpmbuild -bb snort.spec --with mysql (See the file snort.spec for options)

Setting up the unprivileged rpm account in /home/<name>/ :

Are you saying I can't run 32 bit on a 64 bit OS?

I believe he is saying rebuild it into a rpm package for your system.

So my next dumb question is can I run 32bit apps on a 64 bit OS?
And if a 64 bit app has a dependency, can the dependency be 32 bit?

Thanks,

Ray

Yes, the most 32bit applications can be used :
If all the 32bit dependencies are available.
( I think, they might be available in this case.)

No, a 32bit application cannot use 64bit dependencies.
And a 64bit application cannot use 32bit dependencies.

I prefer systems as simple as possible. I.e. everything 64bit, if possible.
(( Or the whole OS being 32 Bits.))

About building snort-2.8.6.1-1 x86_64 : You don't have to.
I already did. Takes about 4 minutes. I can upload the two packages
to Rapidshare, if you want them : snort-mysql-2.8.6.1 + snort-2.8.6.1.
......

I am on my work location and would rather not use Rapidshare.

What's wrong with Rapidshare ? I'd like to know that, please.


Anyway, no problem, send me an email , and I will attach
the two packages to a return mail.
..

I thought that I would be blocked from Rapidshare (due to it's nature of being a file share site), but that's not the case.

Anyway, thanks for offering the pkgs, however I must decline due to
the nature of the work I am doing. Our SA's are looking into rebuilding TCL without threading.

Thanks again. Your willingness to assist other users of linux is commendable.

Ray

??? wtf
"Our SA's are looking into rebuilding TCL without threading." ????

Yes...and so???
