Snort install issue on debian 6 with libpcre - libpcre library not found

0

I've read the manual on snort.org for installing snort on Debian but am still having an issue. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I've tried installing the libpcre3 amd libpcre3-dev packages by using apt-get and also manually installing by downloading the latest version off the tcpdump website. Any ideas?

Checking for pcre-compile in -l pcre...no Error! Libpcre library not found. Get it from http://www.pcre.org

Can you compile a simple executable against pcre like this? int main(int argc, char* argv) { return 0; } -- gcc -o hello hello.c -lpcre – sarnold – 2012-06-02T02:30:18.950

It compiled fine. – None – 2012-06-02T11:42:57.110
