help installing Snort

I am trying to install snort 3.0. The installer told me that I was missing hwloc, so I did configure, then make all install. I went back into the snort directory, and got this:

Code:

Hi...

What distribution and version of Linux are you running?

If you didn't actually install hwloc, you can see if it is included in your distribution's repositories, if it offers any. If not, you can download it here. I'm thinking "libhs" should be located in the repositories as well.

Regards...

by chance did you use the default "local" location and NOT use the "--prefix=/usr " in the configure line ???????
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
and so on...

i am betting you did and did not add that location to the pkgconfig path
nor add that location to the library path

so it should be:

Code:

sudo ./configure_cmake.sh --prefix=/usr

?

for cmake
see the man page on exporting the install location

sniper8752 · 10-21-2016, 04:37 PM

Sorry - still lost.

I also installed it by "sudo apt-get install hwloc". But it still does not work.

for building from source you need the developer files
on a Debian based system that is "build-essentials" and the -dev.deb for the missing library

install the required DEV files
hwloc-dev

this will have the missing headers

Hi...

Again, what distribution and version of Linux are you running? If Ubuntu 16.04 (or other versions,) you can try installing hwloc from the .deb package here, although I don't see the hwloc-devel package specifically. "Build-Essential" is here.

Regards...

Raspbian is what I am running on it.

Linux 4.4.15+ armv6l GNU/Linux

Let me know if this helps, and there is anything else I can provide.

Ok, thanks. There is a version for Raspbian here, although you will need to compile it.

However, you may be able to install the packages from Debian's site. Which repositories is your version of Raspbian using? Jessie's?

Regards...

sniper8752 · 10-22-2016, 07:20 AM

I am not sure how to install this since there doesn't seem to be any instruction on doing so. I did ./configure, which seemed to run ok, but now am not sure where to go from here.

sniper8752 · 10-24-2016, 05:40 PM

Can anybody please help me with this?

Hi...

Not to try and sound rude but some of this you will need to investigate and take care of yourself. Also, you didn't answer my question from above, which was what repositories your copy of Raspbian is using. If you don't know, please Google how to find out.

I did find a tutorial on how to install hwloc from source here. Take a look at "Part 0: installation." Did you install Hwloc as stated there? If Raspbian does use the Debian repositories, it might be easier to install from their site.

Regards...
