installed but not installed.

So guys,

I need to install snort on a machine. It seems that snort need a library 
called daq and libpcap version > 1.0

[root <at> localhost daq-0.6.1]# find / -name *libpcap*
/usr/local/lib/libpcap.a
/usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1.1.1
/usr/local/lib/libpcap.so
/usr/local/lib/libpcap.so.1
/lib/lib/libpcap.a
/lib/lib/libpcap.so.1.1.1
/lib/lib/libpcap.so
/lib/lib/libpcap.so.1

So I guess I have libpcap-1.1.1 installed. (Installed by untar 
./configure make make install)

When I try to install daq-0.6.1:

[root <at> localhost daq-0.6.1]# ./configure 
--with-mysql--enable-dynamicplugin  --with-libpcap-libraries=/lib/lib/
or
[root <at> localhost daq-0.6.1]# ./configure 
--with-mysql--enable-dynamicplugin  --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib/

I got:

  ERROR!  Libpcap library version >= 1.0.0  not found.
     Get it from http://www.tcpdump.org

I think you need libpcap-devel to build against libpcap.  Try yum
installing that and giving your configure another go.

I suppose if you ignore the fdisk man page your argument would have some
weight but alas...

In a DOS-type partition table the starting offset and the size of each
partition is stored in two ways: as an absolute number of sectors (given
in 32 bits), and as a Cylinders/Heads/Sectors triple (given in 10+8+6
bits). The former is OK -- with 512-byte sectors this will work up to  2
TB.

I think it actually does work on drives bigger than 2TB but not

bugzilla

The package owner has to look at the bug report at some point, even if
he chooses to do nothing about it... that's sort of evidence in its own
way. But eventually it has to be cleared.

A good bugzilla report almost always is acted on.

You can't 'foolproof' or 'idiot proof' anything - idiots always improve
their tactics.

I used to be like you, always quick to lecture end users with some
technical factoid.

Then I got older, and with age one gets less patience (or less
inclined to waste time trying to work around technical limits in
hardware or software, as one has "been there" many times in the past).

So I eventually realized it´s not really the end-user´s job to  know
about the cylinder limits of DOS-style partition tables beforehand.
And that if they fire fdisk on a bigger than 2TB hard drive, a warning
message "hey, look, this tool has a limit on what it can do on the big
hard drive just detected" would go a long way to solve frustration and
waste of time, as experienced by the OP.

Just saying.

If "DBAN" was one of the Fedora install-disk options...

My IP and OS are a vandalism target of mindless childish hellbound kooks
hellbent on causing me grief to appease their delusions that I'm in any
ways like them, and that I might somehow want to help them solve their
useless bullyish lives..  is why I find it best to "DBAN" compromised
OS's, to make hd's totally clean for new installs...

It would be Saweet if "DBAN" was one of the Fedora install-disk
options...

In the scheme of things:
- drives > 2TB are extremely new
- it's possible if not likely that someone will make partitions smaller
than 2TB
- there actually is a man page describing fdisk and it's limitations and
in fact, the second paragraph of the fdisk man page makes it pretty
clear.

I find FireFox is Fedora's biggest security flaw..


I find FireFox is Fedora's biggest security flaw..  FF is way too easy
to hack and crack
by demon-bullies to get into to mess-up the browser...

Please tell: What be the most secure browser for Linux Fedora?..  Is
there such a thing as a "secure browser"..?

Have you got any ideas when Mozilla might make FF reasonably secure..?

How do I get you and/or Mozilla to link to my PC to tap into my OS to
catch a glimpse of
the damage and entries the kooks do to FF in my Fedora-14 OS hd..?

How about providing some sort of proof to backup your far fetched crazy
claims.....
