snort installation not going well...


So i'm trying to install snort and ran into a few problems, heres the whole story...

i downloaded snort-2.3.0.tar.gz from www.snort.org using lynx and issued the command tar -zxvf snort-2.3.0.tar.gz and all seemed to go well, so i went into the new snort dir and did a ./configure. I believe at this point it said I need libpcap, so I went out and downloaded, maked, make installed and make cleaned. so i started the configure again and it said that i need pcre, so i went out and did the same with that and then i was able to configure and make snort and it seemed finish fine (at least i didn't see any errors). So I try to start snort and it says "snort: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

so, being one of the first things i've had to install manually i'm at a stand still...does anyone know what the next step would be?

Thanks for any help.

im having the same problem with apache on Alpha Core 1.0 (Fedora Core III for alpha machines)

i installed pcre and pcre-dev...they didnt work....i symlinked /lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 into /usr/lib and that also didnt work...
i've been looking online for a solution, but everyone just says 'hey, i have this problem' and noone seems to know how to fix it.

if i can find a way to fix the problem, ill post it here
