Installing Snort
35
have libnet installed. You can download libnet from http://
www.securityfocus.net. I have used version 1.0.2a for this installation.

After running the configure script, you can run the following two commands
to compile and install Snort files.
make
make install
The first command may take some time to complete depending upon how powerful
your machine is. When you run the second command, files are installed in the appropriate
directories. The make install command installs Snort binaries in 
/
opt/snort
directory as you selected   prefix=/opt/snort on the command line for the
configure script.
Useful command line parameters that can be used with the configure script are
shown in Table 2 1
