Bug 49492 – snort_inline-2.1.1: configure: error: libipq.h not found

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-04-30 06:24:04 UTC]

Hi,

I am having this problem:

checking for floor in -lm... yes
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... yes
checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre... yes
checking for mysql... yes
checking for compress in -lz... yes
checking for postgresql... yes
checking libipq.h usability... no
checking libipq.h presence... no
checking for libipq.h... no
configure: error: libipq.h not found ...

!!! ERROR: net-analyzer/snort_inline-2.1.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

My system is on stable, exept
# cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
net-analyzer/snort_inline       ~x86
net-firewall/ebtables           ~x86
net-firewall/iptables           ~x86

and I am getting the above error.

I have another system, where snort_inline merges fine, on this system libipq.h is owned by iptables.

I installed the same version of iptables on my system, but it doesn't merge thou.

do you have /usr/include/libipq/libipq.h?
when i emerge iptables-1.2.9-r1, it installs that header for me, maybe yours did not?

[Comment 2 Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-05-01 03:39:55 UTC]

On that system, No.

But on another system I have it in /usr/include/libipq/libipq.h, and configure says
checking libipq.h usability... no
checking libipq.h presence... no
checking for libipq.h... no
configure: error: libipq.h not found ...

!!! ERROR: net-analyzer/snort_inline-2.1.1 failed.

The interesting thing is, that snort_inline is already installed (I installed it in the past), but when I do an emerge snort_inline, then it fails.

Hi,

when I add --with-libipq-includes=/usr/include/libipq/ to the configure commandline, configure finds the headers.

The build works fine. No idea, if the binaries really work. I'll test that in a few days.

Johnny

Maybe this is a configure issue?

Please commit to the cvs, and change it to fixed
