How to install libpcap version 1 on centos 5
 

Dear all
I am trying to install libpcap version 1 on my centos 5.5 (which supply libpcap 0.9.4 as built in). I need libpcap>=1.0 to install snort 2.9. please guide in right direction. I tried to install by downloading source code from tcpdump.org but failed to update libpcap-0.9.4 by libpcap-1.0.0.

Thanks

Using Centos means first and foremost using available package management. So what exactly (post exact output) failed after you built the RPM and tried to 'yum update /path/to/libpcap-1.0.0-1.*.rpm'?

Thanks for response
But libpcap-0.9.4 is most updated version of libpcap present in centos repository. But i need at least libpcap-1.0.0

Thanks

Gud news , finally i did successfull installation. I downloaded source code of libpcap and snort and done manual installation, instead of using rpm.

Thanks

If you say so.


No need to thank me for anything because basically you ignored whatever I wrote.
