libdnet is installed but can't be found by snort I'm running Fedora 22 and just installed snort: sudo dnf install snort When trying to run it I get: $ snort snort: error while loading shared libraries: libdnet.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Yet I have the latest version of `libdnet` and `libdnet-devel` packages installed: $ locate libdnet /usr/lib64/libdnet.so /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1 /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1.0.1 /usr/local/lib/libdnet.so.1.0.1 /usr/share/doc/libdnet /usr/share/doc/libdnet/LICENSE /usr/share/doc/libdnet/README /usr/share/doc/libdnet/THANKS /usr/share/doc/libdnet/TODO I'm not sure what to do from here, does anyone have any suggestions? **Edit** $ rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" snort snort-2.9.7.3-1.x86_64

I also upgraded recently to Fedora 22 and experienced the same issue. I resolved it by creating a symlink called libd.1 which points to (in my case) libdnet.so.1.0.1:


ln -s /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib64/libdnet.1


After that Snort worked
