Hi,
I got a problem to install Snort. Here is the error message when make is
running (libpcap-0.4 is loaded before the installation):

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[root@localhost snort-1.8.1-RELEASE]# make
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/include/pcap -DENABLE_SSL -g -O2

[root@localhost snort-1.8.1-RELEASE]#

The similar problem also occurs when I tried to install Snort on Solaris.

Please help. Thank you in advance!

Thanks!
