I wanted to reply and inform of the resolution for this issue I encountered.
I am running on a 64 bit OS, and what I found was that a precompiled package I 
created for the daq required lipcap to be installed, and grabbed it from yum.
This broke the dependencies of dna on the libnl libraries as the yum version is 
not compiled against it.

Once I removed the libpcap that it installed (1.4.0), I also recompiled the daq 
manually rather than using my pre-compiled one.
This resolved the issue. Everything is now running normally.

Thank you,

Alicia S.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your reply. We rebuilt snort, pfring, dna_daq, and everything 
started the first time.
After restarting the process, I'm back to the same issue.

I really don't understand why it started in the first place at this point.
Were  you ever able to figure it out?

Alicia S.

Hi Alicia - I have a very similar situation on my RHEL 6.5 server. Yesterday I 
was fighting this problem and eventually *seemed* to fix it by iterating 
through building pfring (6.0.1) and the DAQ (DNA, r2795) with libnl-devel 
installed, then rebuilding userland with it uninstalled. That seems to have 
been a coincidence, since post-reboot, I'm back to the same error you're 
getting.

Some further details on my own installation: I have 16 queues, pfcount works on 
all of them, so I'm reasonably certain I have the pfring and ixgbe drivers 
configured correctly. tcpdump also works as expected; it's just snort itself 
that seems to be giving me grief.

I call snort with a ton of arguments, I've removed everything that doesn't have 
to do with DNA/pfring:
  --daq-dir=/usr/local/lib/daq --daq pfring_dna --daq-mode passive

Mike
