I have been trying to install snort for days now and I am at my complete wits end. I am currently on the FIRST STEP of this entire process; installing libdaq. Everything goes well, up until when I try to verify if daq-config has been successfully created, and it hasn't.
Any help is seriously appreciated, I really need this to work for an assignment and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. This has wasted multiple days of potential progress on what is seemingly a simple part of the entire process and it's been incredibly stressing on me.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on Virtualbox.
I make sure to install all the needed dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential libpcap-dev libpcre3-dev libdumbnet-dev bison flex zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev autoconf libtool pkg-config
I then download the most recent libdaq file from the snort website, I then tar -xvzf that file, access the file, then I do the usual
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
then checking if daq-config has been made via daq-config --version and daq-config --list-daq-modules, both come up with errors. Checking to see if the file is made via the built in file explorer
