Hi Kumar,
The libpcap.a file is most likley an object archive (for static linking)
and not suitable for use as a shared library.
$ file libpcap.so.0.9.4
libpcap.so.0.9.4: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
stripped
$ file libpcap.a
libpcap.a: current ar archive
Speaking of which, I've been trying to locate recent rpm distibutions of
snort (2.8.6.1 or 2.9.0) for RHEL5 (along with dependencies aka libpcap1)
but with little luck.. Any pointers, ideas? Many people mention they had
success building under rhel5 but they haven't shared any rpms yet...
